Zaburi 121

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

“A song for the degrees.” I lift up my eyes unto the mountains: whence shall come my help?

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

My help is from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.

3 Hatauacha mguu wako uteleze; yeye akulindaye hatasinzia.

He will not suffer thy foot to slip: thy keeper doth not slumber.

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

Behold, he slumbereth not, and he sleepeth not—the keeper of Israel.

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

The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade, he is on thy right hand.

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

By day the sun shall not strike thee, nor the moon by night.

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

The Lord will guard thee against all evil: he will guard thy soul.

8 Yahwe atakulinda katika yote ufanyayo sasa na hata milele.

The Lord will guard thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth and for evermore.
