< भजनसंग्रह 123 >
1 तपाईंतिर म आफ्ना आँखा उचल्छु, तपाईं जो स्वर्गमा विराजमान हुनुहुन्छ ।
UNTO thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.
2 हेर, जसरी कमाराहरूका आँखाले आफ्ना मालिकको हाततिर हेर्छन्, कमारीहरूका आँखाले आफ्ना मालिक्नीको हाततिर हेर्छन्, त्यसरी नै हाम्रा आँखाले परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वरतिर हेर्छन्, जबसम्म उहाँले हामीलाई कृपा गर्नुहुन्न ।
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 हामीमाथि दया गर्नुहोस्, हे परमप्रभु, हामीमाथि दया गर्नुहोस्, किनकि हामी अपमानले भरिएका छौं ।
Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
4 अभिमानीहरूका गिल्ला र घमण्डीहरूका घृणाले भरिएको भन्दा पनि धेरै हामी भएका छौं ।
Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.
