(A song for worship.)
The Lord Will Protect His People
1 I look to the hills!
Where will I find help?
2 It will come from the Lord,
who created heaven and earth.
3 The Lord is your protector,
and he won't go to sleep
or let you stumble.
4 The protector of Israel
doesn't doze
or ever get drowsy.
5 The Lord is your protector,
there at your right side
to shade you from the sun.
6 You won't be harmed
by the sun during the day
or by the moon at night.
7 The Lord will protect you
and keep you safe
from all dangers.
8 The Lord will protect you
now and always
wherever you go.
Yahwe mbakilili wedu
1 Ndomilidzila mesho angu ku matombo.
Apa bhatsho yangu inowodwa ngayi?
2 Bhatsho yangu inodwa kuna Yahwe,
ibo bakathama kudzimu ne shango.
3 Abatowoletja gumbo lilo likatedzemuka,
ibo bakakutjengeta aabatowotshumwayila.
4 Ngelebeswa, ibo bakatjengeta Iziraela,
abangatshumwayile naiko ku izela dumbu.
5 Yahwe ndibo ntjengeti uwo,
Yahwe ndibo ntutshi uwo ku luboko gugo gwe luji.
6 Zhuba alingakuphobole masikati,
kene naiwo mwedzi busiku.
7 Yahwe banowokutjengeta mu mbipo yose,
banowotjengeta butjilo gugo.
8 Yahwe banowotjengeta
kubhuda kuko ne swika kuko
kudwa ngwenu kunoti nge kusingapele kose.
