Zaburi 121

1 Wimbo wa kwenda juu. Nayainua macho yangu nitazame vilima, msaada wangu utatoka wapi?

[A Song of Ascents.] I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from?

2 Msaada wangu hutoka kwa Bwana, Muumba wa mbingu na dunia.

My help comes from YHWH, who made heaven and earth.

3 Hatauacha mguu wako uteleze, yeye akulindaye hatasinzia,

He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber.

4 hakika, yeye alindaye Israeli hatasinzia wala hatalala usingizi.

Look, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 Bwana anakulinda, Bwana ni uvuli wako mkono wako wa kuume,

YHWH is your keeper. YHWH is your shade on your right hand.

6 jua halitakudhuru mchana, wala mwezi wakati wa usiku.

The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.

7 Bwana atakukinga na madhara yote, atayalinda maisha yako,

YHWH will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul.

8 Bwana atakulinda unapoingia na unapotoka, tangu sasa na hata milele.

YHWH will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forth, and forevermore.
