1 हे परमप्रभु, तपाईं किन टाढा खडा हुनुहुन्छ? कष्‍टको समयमा तपाईं किन आफैलाई लुकाउनुहुन्छ?
Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? [why] hidest thou [thyself] in times of trouble?
2 आफ्‍नो अहङ्कारको कारणले दुष्‍ट मानिसहरूले थिचोमिचोमा परेकाहरूलाई लखेट्छन् । तर दुष्‍टहरूलाई तिनीहरू आफैले बनाएका योजनाहरूका पासोमा पर्न दिनुहोस् ।
The wicked in [his] pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
3 किनकि दुष्‍ट व्‍यक्‍तिले आफ्ना गहिरा इच्छाहरूमा घमण्ड गर्छ । त्यसले लालचीलाई आशिष्‌ ‌‌दिन्छ र परमप्रभुको अपमान गर्छ ।
For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the covetous, [whom] the LORD abhorreth.
4 दुष्‍ट मानिसको मुहार अहङ्कारपूर्ण छ । त्यसले परमेश्‍वरलाई खोज्‍दैन । त्यसले परमेश्‍वरको बारेमा कदापि विचार गर्दैन किनभने त्यसले उहाँको बारेमा केही वास्‍तै गर्दैन ।
The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek [after God: ] God [is] not in all his thoughts.
5 त्यो हर समय ढुक्‍क हुन्छ, तर तपाईंका धार्मिक आदेशहरू त्यसको निम्ति अति उच्‍च छन् । त्यसले आफ्‍ना सबै शत्रुलाई घृणा गर्छ ।
His ways are always grievous; thy judgments [are] far above out of his sight: [as for] all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
6 त्यसले आफ्‍नो मनमा भन्छ, “म कहिल्यै असफल हुन्‍नँ । सारा पुस्ताभरि नै मैले दुर्दिन देख्‍नेछैन ।”
He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for [I shall] never [be] in adversity.
7 त्यसको मुख सराप, छलले र हानिकारक शब्दहरूले पूर्ण हुन्छ । त्यसको जिब्रोले घायल पार्छ र नाश गर्छ ।
His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue [is] mischief and vanity.
8 त्यो गाउँको नजिकै ढुकेर बस्छ । गुप्‍त ठाउँहरूमा त्यसले निर्दोषको हत्या गर्छ । त्यसका आँखाले बेसाहारा पिडितलाई खोज्छ ।
He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.
9 सिंह झाडीमा लुकेझैं त्यो गुप्‍तमा ढुक्छ । थिचोमिचोमा परेकाहरूलाई समात्‍न त्‍यो पर्खेर बस्‍छ । त्यसले आफ्नो जाल तान्दा थिचोमिचोमा परेकाहरूलाई समाउँछ ।
He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.
10 त्यसका पन्‍जामा परेकाहरूलाई टेकिन्‍छन् र पिटिन्छन् । तिनीहरू त्यसको बलियो जालहरूमा फस्छन् ।
He croucheth, [and] humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
11 त्यसले आफ्नो मनमा भन्छ, “परमेश्‍वरले बिर्सनुभएको छ । उहाँले आफ्नो मुहार ढाक्‍नुहुन्‍छ । उहाँले हेर्ने कष्‍ट गर्नुहुनेछैन ।”
He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see [it].
12 हे परमप्रभु, उठ्‍नुहोस्! हे परमेश्‍वर, आफ्नो हात उठाउनुहोस्! तिचिएकाहरूलाई नबिर्सनुहोस् ।
Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.
13 किन दुष्‍ट मानिसले परमेश्‍वरलाई इन्कार गर्छन् र आफ्नो हृदयमा यसो भन्‍छ, “तपाईंले मलाई जवाफदेही बनाउनु हुनेछैन”?
Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require [it].
14 तपाईंले ध्यान दिनुभएको छ, किनकि विपद र दुःख ल्याउनेलाई तपाईंले सदासर्वदा हेर्नुहुन्छ । बेसाहाराले आफैलाई तपाईंमा सुम्पन्छ । तपाईंले अनाथहरूलाई छुटकारा दिनुहुन्छ ।
Thou hast seen [it; ] for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite [it] with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.
15 दुष्‍ट र खराब मानिसहरूको पाखुरा भाँच्नुहोस् । त्यसलाई आफ्‍नो दुष्‍ट कामहरूको लेखा लिनुहोस्, जुन तपाईंले पत्ता लगाउनु हुन्‍न भनी त्यसले सोच्यो ।
Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil [man: ] seek out his wickedness [till] thou find none.
16 परमप्रभु सदासर्वदा राजा हुनुहुन्छ । जातिहरू उहाँको देशबाट लखेटिन्‍छन् ।
The LORD [is] King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.
17 हे परमप्रभु, थिचोमिचोमा परेकाहरूको खाँचोहरूका बारेमा तपाईंले सुन्‍नुभएको छ । तपाईंले तिनीहरूका हृदयलाई मजबुत पार्नुहुन्छ, तपाईंले तिनीहरूका प्रार्थना सुन्‍नुहुन्छ ।
LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:
18 तपाईंले अनाथहरू र थिचोमिचोमा परेकाहरूको रक्षा गर्नुहुन्छ ताकि पृथ्वीका कुनै पनि मानिसले फेरि आतङ्‍कित नपारोस् ।
To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.
