Psalms 121

1 A Song of Ascents. I will lift up mine eyes unto the mountains: from whence shall my help come?

Ngizaphakamisela amehlo ami ezintabeni, lapho usizo lwami oluzavela khona.

2 My help [cometh] from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

Usizo lwami luvela eNkosini, eyenza amazulu lomhlaba.

3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

Kayiyikuvuma ukuthi unyawo lwakho lutshelele; umlondolozi wakho kayikuwozela.

4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

Khangela, umlondolozi kaIsrayeli kayikuwozela njalo kayikulala.

5 The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.

INkosi ingumlondolozi wakho; iNkosi ingumthunzi wakho esandleni sakho sokunene.

6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

Ilanga kaliyikukutshaya emini, lenyanga ebusuku.

7 The LORD shall keep thee from all evil; he shall keep thy soul.

INkosi izakulondoloza kukho konke okubi; izalondoloza umphefumulo wakho.

8 The LORD shall keep thy going out and thy coming in, from this time forth and for evermore.

INkosi izalondoloza ukuphuma kwakho lokungena kwakho, kusukela khathesi kuze kube phakade.
