Zabura 123

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

A song of ascents. I Lift up my eyes to you, who are throned 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.

As the eyes of a servant turn to the hand of his master, or the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so do our eyes turn to the Lord our God, until he is gracious to us.

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

Be gracious, be gracious to us, Lord. Scorn enough, and more, have we borne

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

More than enough have we borne of derision from those at their ease, of scorn from those who are haughty.
