< भजनसंग्रह 123 >
1 तपाईंतिर म आफ्ना आँखा उचल्छु, तपाईं जो स्वर्गमा विराजमान हुनुहुन्छ ।
A song of ascents. I Lift up my eyes to you, who are throned 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 ।
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 हामीमाथि दया गर्नुहोस्, हे परमप्रभु, हामीमाथि दया गर्नुहोस्, किनकि हामी अपमानले भरिएका छौं ।
Be gracious, be gracious to us, Lord. Scorn enough, and more, have we borne
4 अभिमानीहरूका गिल्ला र घमण्डीहरूका घृणाले भरिएको भन्दा पनि धेरै हामी भएका छौं ।
More than enough have we borne of derision from those at their ease, of scorn from those who are haughty.
