Mapisarema 121

1 Rwiyo rworwendo. Ndinosimudzira meso angu kumakomo, kubatsirwa kwangu kunobvepiko?

A Song of the Ascents. I lift up mine eyes unto the hills, Whence doth my help come?

2 Rubatsiro rwangu runobva kuna Jehovha, muiti wokudenga napasi.

My help [is] from Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,

3 Haangatenderi rutsoka rwako kuti rutedzemuke, muchengeti wako haangakotsiri;

He suffereth not thy foot to be moved, Thy preserver slumbereth not.

4 zvirokwazvo, muchengeti waIsraeri haangakotsiri kana kuvata.

Lo, He slumbereth not, nor sleepeth, He who is preserving Israel.

5 Jehovha anokurinda, Jehovha ndiye mumvuri wako kuruoko rwako rworudyi;

Jehovah [is] thy preserver, Jehovah [is] thy shade on thy right hand,

6 zuva haringakubayi masikati, kana mwedzi usiku.

By day the sun doth not smite thee, Nor the moon by night.

7 Jehovha achakuchengeta pane zvose zvinokuvadza, iye acharinda upenyu hwako;

Jehovah preserveth thee from all evil, He doth preserve thy soul.

8 Jehovha achakurinda pakubuda kwako napakupinda kwako, kubva zvino uye nokusingaperi.

Jehovah preserveth thy going out and thy coming in, From henceforth even unto the age!
