Zabura 123

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

A song of ascents. To you I lift up my eyes, you who are enthroned 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 look to their master's hand, as the eyes of a maid look to her mistress's hand, so our eyes look to Yahweh our God until 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, Yahweh, have mercy on us, for we are filled with humiliation.

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

We are more than full of the scoffing of the insolent and with the contempt of the proud.
