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.
A Song of degrees.
1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2 My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
8 The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
