Psalms 121

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

Ngizaphakamisela amehlo ami ezintabeni, lapho usizo lwami oluzavela khona.

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

Usizo lwami luvela eNkosini, eyenza amazulu lomhlaba.

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

Kayiyikuvuma ukuthi unyawo lwakho lutshelele; umlondolozi wakho kayikuwozela.

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

Khangela, umlondolozi kaIsrayeli kayikuwozela njalo kayikulala.

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

INkosi ingumlondolozi wakho; iNkosi ingumthunzi wakho esandleni sakho sokunene.

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

Ilanga kaliyikukutshaya emini, lenyanga ebusuku.

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

INkosi izakulondoloza kukho konke okubi; izalondoloza umphefumulo wakho.

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

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