¹Ndichasimudzira meso angu kumakomo; Kubatsirwa kwangu kuchabvepiko?

¹A Song of the Ascents. I lift up mine eyes unto the hills, Whence doth my help come?

²Kubatsirwa kwangu kunobva kuna Jehovha, Wakaita kudenga napasi.

²My help [is] from Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,

³Haangatenderi rutsoka rwako kuti rutedzemuke; Muchengeti wako haangakotsiri.

³He suffereth not thy foot to be moved, Thy preserver slumbereth not.

⁴Tarirai, muchengeti waIsiraeri Haangakotsiri kana kuvata.

⁴Lo, He slumbereth not, nor sleepeth, He who is preserving Israel.

⁵Jehovha muchengeti wako; Jehovha mumvuri wako paruoko rwako rworudyi.

⁵Jehovah [is] thy preserver, Jehovah [is] thy shade on thy right hand,

⁶Zuva haringakubayi masikati, Nomwedzi usiku.

⁶By day the sun doth not smite thee, Nor the moon by night.

⁷Jehovha achakuchengeta pazvakaipa zvose; Achachengeta mweya wako.

⁷Jehovah preserveth thee from all evil, He doth preserve thy soul.

⁸Jehovha achakuchengeta pakubuda kwako napakupinda kwako, Kubva panguva ino kusvikira pakusingaperi.

⁸Jehovah preserveth thy going out and thy coming in, From henceforth even unto the age!
