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 ।
Through the haughtiness of the wicked the poor are in distress; They are caught in the wiles which are contrived for them.
3 किनकि दुष्‍ट व्‍यक्‍तिले आफ्ना गहिरा इच्छाहरूमा घमण्ड गर्छ । त्यसले लालचीलाई आशिष्‌ ‌‌दिन्छ र परमप्रभुको अपमान गर्छ ।
The wicked boasteth of his heart's desire; The rapacious renounceth and contemneth Jehovah.
4 दुष्‍ट मानिसको मुहार अहङ्कारपूर्ण छ । त्यसले परमेश्‍वरलाई खोज्‍दैन । त्यसले परमेश्‍वरको बारेमा कदापि विचार गर्दैन किनभने त्यसले उहाँको बारेमा केही वास्‍तै गर्दैन ।
The wicked [[saith]] in his haughtiness, “He careth not!” All his thoughts are, “There is no God.”
5 त्यो हर समय ढुक्‍क हुन्छ, तर तपाईंका धार्मिक आदेशहरू त्यसको निम्ति अति उच्‍च छन् । त्यसले आफ्‍ना सबै शत्रुलाई घृणा गर्छ ।
His course is always prosperous; Far in the heights are thy judgments from him; 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 saith in his heart, “I shall never fall; 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 perjury, deceit, and oppression; Mischief and injustice are upon his tongue.
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 secret places doth he murder the innocent; His eyes are secretly fixed upon the poor.
9 सिंह झाडीमा लुकेझैं त्यो गुप्‍तमा ढुक्छ । थिचोमिचोमा परेकाहरूलाई समात्‍न त्‍यो पर्खेर बस्‍छ । त्यसले आफ्नो जाल तान्दा थिचोमिचोमा परेकाहरूलाई समाउँछ ।
He secretly lieth in wait, like a lion in a thicket; He lieth in wait to seize upon the helpless; He catcheth the poor, drawing him into his net.
10 त्यसका पन्‍जामा परेकाहरूलाई टेकिन्‍छन् र पिटिन्छन् । तिनीहरू त्यसको बलियो जालहरूमा फस्छन् ।
He croucheth, and lowereth himself, And the wretched fall into his paws.
11 त्यसले आफ्नो मनमा भन्छ, “परमेश्‍वरले बिर्सनुभएको छ । उहाँले आफ्नो मुहार ढाक्‍नुहुन्‍छ । उहाँले हेर्ने कष्‍ट गर्नुहुनेछैन ।”
He saith in his heart, “God doth forget; He hideth his face; he doth 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 distressed!
13 किन दुष्‍ट मानिसले परमेश्‍वरलाई इन्कार गर्छन् र आफ्नो हृदयमा यसो भन्‍छ, “तपाईंले मलाई जवाफदेही बनाउनु हुनेछैन”?
Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God, And say in his heart, “He careth not for it”?
14 तपाईंले ध्यान दिनुभएको छ, किनकि विपद र दुःख ल्याउनेलाई तपाईंले सदासर्वदा हेर्नुहुन्छ । बेसाहाराले आफैलाई तपाईंमा सुम्पन्छ । तपाईंले अनाथहरूलाई छुटकारा दिनुहुन्छ ।
Thou dost see it; yea, thou beholdest malice and oppression, And markest it upon thy hand! The poor committeth himself to 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 unjust and wicked man; Seek out his wickedness, till thou canst find none!
16 परमप्रभु सदासर्वदा राजा हुनुहुन्छ । जातिहरू उहाँको देशबाट लखेटिन्‍छन् ।
Jehovah is king for ever and ever; The gentiles shall perish out of his land.
17 हे परमप्रभु, थिचोमिचोमा परेकाहरूको खाँचोहरूका बारेमा तपाईंले सुन्‍नुभएको छ । तपाईंले तिनीहरूका हृदयलाई मजबुत पार्नुहुन्छ, तपाईंले तिनीहरूका प्रार्थना सुन्‍नुहुन्छ ।
Thou, O LORD! wilt hear the desires of the distressed; Thou wilt strengthen their hearts; Thou wilt lend a listening ear!
18 तपाईंले अनाथहरू र थिचोमिचोमा परेकाहरूको रक्षा गर्नुहुन्छ ताकि पृथ्वीका कुनै पनि मानिसले फेरि आतङ्‍कित नपारोस् ।
Thou wilt maintain the cause of the fatherless and the oppressed, That henceforth none may be driven from the land.
