Zaburi 121

1 Nitayainua macho yangu nitazame milimani. Msaada wangu utatoka wapi?

A song of ascents. I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?

2 Msaada wangu unatoka kwa Yahwe, aliyezifanya mbingu na nchi.

My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

3 Hatauacha mguu wako uteleze; yeye akulindaye hatasinzia.

He will not allow your foot to slip; your Protector will not slumber.

4 Tazama, mlinzi wa Israeli hatasinzia wala hatalala usingizi kamwe.

Behold, the Protector of Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 Yahwe ni mlinzi wako; Yahwe ni uvuli mkono wako wa kuume.

The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is the shade on your right hand.

6 Jua halitakudhuru wakati wa mchana, wala mwezi wakati wa usiku.

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

7 Yahwe atakulinda na madhara yote, na ataulinda uhai wako.

The LORD will guard you from all evil; He will preserve your soul.

8 Yahwe atakulinda katika yote ufanyayo sasa na hata milele.

The LORD will watch over your coming and going, both now and forevermore.
