Zaburi 121

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

A Song of Ascents. I will lift up mine eyes, unto the mountains, From whence cometh my help!

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

My help, is from Yahweh, who made heavens and earth.

3 Hatauacha mguu wako uteleze; yeye akulindaye hatasinzia.

May he not suffer thy foot, to slip, May thy keeper, not slumber!

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

Lo! neither will slumber nor sleep, The keeper of Israel.

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

Yahweh, is thy keeper, Yahweh, is thy shade, on thy right hand:

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

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

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

Yahweh, will keep thee from all harm, He will keep thy life.

8 Yahwe atakulinda katika yote ufanyayo sasa na hata milele.

Yahweh, will keep thy going out and thy coming in, from henceforth, even unto times age-abiding.
