Zabura 123

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

A Song of degrees. Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest 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.

Behold, as the eyes of servants [look] unto the hand of their masters, [and] as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes [wait] upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us.

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

Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

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

Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, [and] with the contempt of the proud.
