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 mountains. O whence shall help for me come?

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

From the Lord comes help to me the creator of heaven and earth.

3 Hatauacha mguu wako uteleze, yeye akulindaye hatasinzia,

Your foot he will not let totter: he who guards you will not sleep.

4 hakika, yeye alindaye Israeli hatasinzia wala hatalala usingizi.

The guardian of Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

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

The Lord is he who guards you your shelter upon your right hand.

6 jua halitakudhuru mchana, wala mwezi wakati wa usiku.

The sun by day shall not strike you, nor the moon by night.

7 Bwana atakukinga na madhara yote, atayalinda maisha yako,

From all evil the Lord will guard you, he will guard your life.

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

The Lord will guard your going and coming from now and for evermore.
