Mana nduburira amaso yanjye(God I lift up my eyes)

Ku misozi(To the hills)

Mbe gutabarwa kwanjye kuzava he?(Where will my help come from?)

Mubimbwire(Tell me)

K’ Uwiteka niho guturuka(That help comes from the Lord)

Ku Mana yaremy’ijuru n’isi(From God who made heaven and earth)

2.

Ntizemera k’ibirenge byawe(He will not let your feet)

biteguza;(slip;)

Ikurinda ntabw’ihunikira(He who watches you never slumbers)

Ntisinzira(Nor sleeps)

Imana irind’Abisirayeri(God watches over Israel)

Ihor’iri maso ntisinzira(Always awake, never sleeping)

3.

Imana ni Yo Murinzi wawe(God is your faithful)

wo kwizerwa(Keeper,)

Niyo gicucu cy’iburyo bgawe(He is the shade at your right hand)

Gihoraho(Always present)

Ku manyw’izuba ntirizakwica(By day the sun will not strike you,)

N’ijoro ukwezi ntuzagutinya(Nor the moon by night shall you fear)

4.

Imana niyo ikurind’ibibi byose iteka(God will keep you from all evil forever)

Imana niy’irind’ubugingo(God will guard your life)

Bwawe neza(Well)

Izakurind’amajya n’amaza(He will watch over your coming and going)

None no mu bihe bidashira(Now and in times to come)
