Psalms 121

1 A Song of Ascents. I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from?

He waiata; he pikitanga. Ka anga atu oku kanohi ki nga maunga; no reira nei te awhina moku.

2 My help comes from Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.

No Ihowa te awhina moku, no te kaihanga o te rangi, o te whenua.

3 He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber.

E kore ia e tuku i tou waewae kia nekehia; e kore tou kaitiaki e moe.

4 Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

Ina, e kore te kaitiaki o Iharaira e parangia, e moe.

5 Yahweh is your keeper. Yahweh is your shade on your right hand.

Ko Ihowa tou kaitiaki, ko Ihowa tou whakamarumaru i tou matau.

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

E kore koe e pakia e te ra i te awatea, e te marama ranei i te po.

7 Yahweh will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul.

Ma Ihowa koe e tiaki i roto i nga kino katoa; mana e tiaki tou wairua.

8 Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forever more.

Ma Ihowa e tiaki tou haerenga atu, me tou haerenga mai aianei a ake tonu atu.
