Mana nduburira amaso yanjye

Ku misozi

Mbe gutabarwa kwanjye kuzava he?

Mubimbgire

K’ Uwiteka niho guturuka

Ku Mana yaremy’ijuru n’isi

(God I lift up my eyes)

(To the hills)

(Where will my help come from?)

(Tell me)

(That help comes from the Lord)

(From God who made heaven and earth)

2.

Ntizemera k’ibirenge byawe

biteguza;

Ikurinda ntabw’ihunikira

Ntisinzira

Imana irind’Abisirayeri

Ihor’iri maso ntisinzira

(He will not let your feet)

(slip;)

(He who watches you never slumbers)

(Nor sleeps)

(God watches over Israel)

(Always awake, never sleeping)

3.

Imana ni Yo Murinzi wawe

wo kwizerwa

Niyo gicucu cy’iburyo bgawe

Gihoraho

Ku manyw’izuba ntirizakwica

N’ijoro ukwezi ntuzagutinya

(God is your faithful)

(Keeper,)

(He is the shade at your right hand)

(Always present)

(By day the sun will not strike you,)

(Nor the moon by night shall you fear)

4.

Imana niyo ikurind’ibibi byose iteka

Imana niy’irind’ubugingo

Bgawe neza

Izakurind’amajya n’amaza

None no mu bihe bidashira

(God will keep you from all evil forever)

(God will guard your life)

(Well)

(He will watch over your coming and going)

(Now and in times to come)
