Zabura 123

1 Waƙar haurawa. Na tā da idanuna gare ka, gare ka da kursiyinka yake cikin sama.

A Song of the going up. To you my eyes are lifted up, even to you whose seat is in the heavens.

2 Kamar yadda idanun bayi suna duban hannun maigidansu, kamar yadda idanun baiwa suna duban hannun uwargijiyarta, haka idanunmu suna duban Ubangiji Allahnmu, sai ya nuna mana jinƙansa.

See! as the eyes of servants are turned to the hands of their masters, and the eyes of a servant-girl to her owner, so our eyes are waiting for the Lord our God, till he has mercy on us.

3 Ka yi mana jinƙai, ya Ubangiji, ka yi mana jinƙai, gama mun jimre da reni mai yawa.

Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us: for all men are looking down on us.

4 Mun jimre da wulaƙanci daga masu girman kai, reni mai yawa daga masu fariya.

For long enough have men of pride made sport of our soul.
