Zabura 123

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

A Song of Degrees. To you who dwell in heaven have I lifted up mine eyes.

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 [are directed] to the hands of their masters, [and] as the eyes of a maidservant to the hands of her mistress; so our eyes [are directed] to the Lord our God, until he have mercy upon us.

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

Have pity upon us, O Lord, have pity upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

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

[Yes], our soul has been exceedingly filled [with it]: [let] the reproach [be] to them that are at ease, and contempt to the proud.
