Salmos 121

Ko Ihowā tō tātou Kaitiaki

He waiata; he pikitanga.

1 Ka anga atu ōku kanohi ki ngā maunga –

nō reira nei te āwhina mōku.

2 Nō Ihowā te āwhina mōku,

nō te kaihanga o te rangi, o te whenua.

3 E kore ia e tuku i tōu waewae kia nekehia;

e kore tōu kaitiaki e moe.

4 Inā, e kore te kaitiaki o Īharaira

e parangia, e moe.

5 Ko Ihowā tōu kaitiaki;

ko Ihowā tōu whakamarumaru i tōu matau.

6 E kore koe e pākia e te rā i te awatea,

e te marama rānei i te pō.

7 Mā Ihowā koe e tiaki i roto i ngā kino katoa;

māna e tiaki tōu wairua.

8 Mā Ihowā e tiaki tōu haerenga atu,

me tōu haerenga mai āianei ā ake tonu atu.

A Song of Ascents.

1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the mountains:

From whence shall my help come?

2 My help cometh from Jehovah,

Who 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

Will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 Jehovah is thy keeper:

Jehovah is thy shade upon thy right hand.

6 The sun shall not smite thee by day,

Nor the moon by night.

7 Jehovah will keep thee from all evil;

He will keep thy soul.

8 Jehovah will keep thy going out and thy coming in

From this time forth and for evermore.
