< भजनसंग्रह 123 >

1 तपाईंतिर म आफ्‍ना आँखा उचल्छु, तपाईं जो स्वर्गमा विराजमान हुनुहुन्छ ।
“A song of the steps, or the goings up.” To thee do I lift up mine eyes, O Thou who 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 to the hand of their masters, And as the eyes of a maiden to the hand of her mistress, So do our eyes look to the LORD, our God, Until he have pity 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 overwhelmed with contempt!
4 अभिमानीहरूका गिल्ला र घमण्डीहरूका घृणाले भरिएको भन्दा पनि धेरै हामी भएका छौं ।
Our soul is filled to the full with the scorn of those who are at ease, And with the contempt of the proud.
