Mapisarema 121

1 Rwiyo rworwendo. Ndinosimudzira meso angu kumakomo, kubatsirwa kwangu kunobvepiko?

A Song of Degrees. I lifted up mine eyes to the mountains, whence my help shall come.

2 Rubatsiro rwangu runobva kuna Jehovha, muiti wokudenga napasi.

My help [shall come] from the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.

3 Haangatenderi rutsoka rwako kuti rutedzemuke, muchengeti wako haangakotsiri;

Let not your foot be moved; and let not your keeper slumber.

4 zvirokwazvo, muchengeti waIsraeri haangakotsiri kana kuvata.

Behold, he that keeps Israel shall not slumber nor sleep.

5 Jehovha anokurinda, Jehovha ndiye mumvuri wako kuruoko rwako rworudyi;

The Lord shall keep you: the Lord is your shelter upon your right hand.

6 zuva haringakubayi masikati, kana mwedzi usiku.

The sun shall not burn you by day, neither the moon by night.

7 Jehovha achakuchengeta pane zvose zvinokuvadza, iye acharinda upenyu hwako;

May the Lord preserve you from all evil: the Lord shall keep your soul.

8 Jehovha achakurinda pakubuda kwako napakupinda kwako, kubva zvino uye nokusingaperi.

The Lord shall keep your coming in, and your going out, from henceforth and even for ever.
