1To you I do lift up my eyes, you who sit in the heavens.
1 Zijiyaŋ dooni no. Ya beeney ra gorokwa, nin no ay go ga guna.
2Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress; so our eyes look to Yahweh, our God, until he has mercy on us.
2 A go, sanda mate kaŋ cine bannyayaŋ moy go ngey koyo kambe do haray, Wala sanda koŋŋa kaŋ a moy go nga fu-nya kambe do haray, Yaadin cine no iri moy go Rabbi iri Irikoyo do haray, Hal a ma gomni te iri se.
3Have mercy on us, Yahweh, have mercy on us, for we have endured much contempt.
3 Ya Rabbi, ma gomni goy te iri se. Ma gomni goy te iri se zama iri kungu nda donda-caray gumo.
4Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.
4 Iri laami bu gumo da arzakantey hahaarayaŋey, Da boŋbeeraykoyey donda-cara mo.
