1 मेरो सारा जीवनले म परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर्नेछु । हे परमप्रभु मेरो परमेश्‍वर, तपाई अति महान् हुनुहुन्छ । तपाईं वैभव र ऐश्‍वर्यले विभूषित हुनुहुन्छ ।
Bless, O my soul, the Lord. O Lord my God, thou art very great; with glory and majesty art thou clothed.
2 तपाईंले आफूलाई लुगाले झैं ज्‍योतिले ढाक्‍नुहुन्छ । तपाईंले आकाशलाई पालको पर्दालाई झैं फैलाउनुहुन्छ ।
[Thou art he] who wrappeth himself in light as with a garment; who stretcheth out the heavens like a curtain;
3 तपाईंले आफ्नो कोठाहरूका दलिनहरू बादलमा राख्‍नुहुन्छ । तपाईंले बदललाई आफ्नो रथ बनाउनुहुन्छ । तपाईं हावाको पखेटाहरूमा हिंड्‍नुहुन्छ ।
Who frameth of the waters the beams of his upper-chambers; who maketh the clouds his chariot; who walketh along upon the wings of the wind:
4 उहाँले हावालाई आफ्नो दूतहरू र आगोका ज्वालाहरूलाई आफ्ना सेवकहरू बनाउनुहुन्छ ।
Who maketh the winds his messengers; the flaming fire his ministers;
5 उहाँले पृथ्वीका जगहरू बसाल्नुभयो र त्‍यो कहिल्यै हटाइनेछैन ।
Who hath founded the earth upon her bases, that she should not be moved to all eternity.
6 तपाईंले पृथ्वीलाई लुगाले झैं पानीले ढाक्‍नुभयो । पानीले पहाडहरू ढाके ।
Thou hadst covered the deep as with a garment: above the mountains stood the waters.
7 तपाईंको हप्कीले पानीहरू पछि हटेर गए । तपाईंको गर्जनको सोरमा तिनीहरू भागे ।
At thy rebuke they fled, at the voice of thy thunder they hastened away.
8 तपाईंले तिनीहरूका निम्‍ति तोक्‍नुभएका ठाउँहरूमा पहाडहरू उठे र बेसीहरू फैलिए ।
They ascended mountains; they went down valleys, unto the place which thou hadst founded for them.
9 तपाईंले तिनीहरूका निम्ति सिमाना तोक्‍नुभएको छ, जुन तिनीहरूले नाघ्‍ने छैनन् । तिनीहरूले पृथ्वीलाई फेरि ढाक्‍नेछैनन् ।
Bounds hast thou set which they cannot pass over, that they return not again to cover the earth.
10 उहाँले मूलहरूलाई बेसीहरूमा बगाउनुभयो । पहाडहरूका बिचबाट खोलाहरू बग्छन् ।
[Thou art he] who sendeth springs into the valleys, between mountains they run along.
11 तिनीहरूले मैदानका सबै जनावरलाई पानी दिन्‍छन् । जङ्गली गधाहरूले आफ्‍नो तिर्खा मेटाउँछन् ।
They give drink to all the beasts of the field: the wild asses quench [thereon] their thirst.
12 नदीका किनाराहरूमा चराहरूले आफ्‍ना गुँड बनाउँछन् । तिनीहरूले हाँगाहरूमा गाउँछन् ।
By them have the fowls of the heaven ever their habitation, from between the branches they send forth their voice.
13 आकाशमा भएको पानीका आफ्‍ना भण्डारहरूबाट उहाँले पहाडहरूलाई पानीले भिजाउनुहुन्छ । पृथ्वी उहाँको श्रमको फलले पूर्ण छ ।
Who watereth the mountains from his upper-chambers: from the fruit of thy works is the earth satisfied.
14 उहाँले गाईवस्‍तुको निम्ति घाँस र मानिसलाई खेती गर्न बिरुवाहरू उमार्नुहुन्छ, ताकि मनिसले पृथ्वीबाट खानेकुरा उत्पादन गरोस् ।
[Thou art he] who causeth grass to grow for the cattle, and herbs by the service of man, that he may bring forth bread out of the earth;
15 मानिसलाई खुसी राख्‍न दाखमद्य, त्यसको अनुहार चम्किलो पार्न तेल र त्यसको जीवन बचाउन खानेकुरा उहाँले बनाउनुहुन्छ ।
And wine that maketh joyful the heart of man, [and] oil to brighten his face, and bread which strengtheneth the heart of man.
16 परमप्रभुका रूखहरूले प्रशस्‍त पानी पाउँछन् । लेबनानको देवदारु जसलाई उहाँले रोप्‍नुभयो ।
Full of sap are the trees of the Lord, the cedars of Lebanon which he hath planted;
17 चराहरूले त्‍यहाँ गुँड बनाउँछन् । सारसले सल्लाका रूखहरूलाई आफ्नो घर बनाउँछ ।
Where the birds make their nests: the stork—fir-trees are her house.
18 घोरलहरू उच्‍च पहाडहरूतिर बस्छन् । पहाडका टाकुराहरू खरायोहरूका शरणस्थान हुन् ।
The high mountains are for the wild goats: the rocks are a shelter for the conies.
19 उहाँले चन्द्रमालाई ऋतु चिनाउनलाई तोक्‍नुभयो । सुर्यले आफ्‍नो अस्ताउने समय जान्दछ ।
He hath made the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.
20 तपाईंले रातको अँध्यारो बनाउनुहुन्छ, जब वनका सबै पशुहरू बाहिर निस्‍किन्‍छन् ।
Thou causest darkness, and it becometh night, wherein creep forth all the beasts of the forest.
21 जवान सिंहहरू आफ्‍ना शिकारको निम्ति गर्जिन्छन् र परमेश्‍वरबाट आफ्‍नो खानेकुरा खोज्छन् ।
The young lions roar after their prey, and ask from God their food.
22 जब सूर्य उदाउँछ, तिनीहरू फर्कन्छन् र आफ्‍ना खोरहरूमा सुत्छन् ।
The sun ariseth, they withdraw [to their lairs], and lie down in their dens.
23 यसबिच मानिसहरू आ-आफ्ना काममा बाहिर जान्छन् र साँझसम्म नै परिश्रम गर्छन् ।
Man goeth [then] forth unto his work, and to his labor until the evening.
24 हे परमप्रभु, तपाईंका कामहरू कति धेरै र फरक किसिमका छन्! बुद्धिले तपाईंले तिनीहरू सबै बनाउनुभयो । पृथ्वी तपाईंको कामहरूले भरिन्‍छ ।
How manifold are thy works, O Lord! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
25 त्यहाँ गहिरो र फराकिलो, साना र ठुला दुवै असंख्या प्राणीले भरिएको समुद्र छ ।
Here is this great and wide-extended sea; therein are moving things without number, living creatures both small and great.
26 पानी जहाजहरू त्यहाँ यात्रा गर्छन् र लिव्यातन पनि त्यहाँ छ, जसलाई तपाईंले समुद्रमा खेल्नलाई बनाउनुभयो ।
There the ships make their way: [there also] is the leviathan, whom thou hast made to sport therein.
27 यी सबैले समयमा आफ्‍नो खाना पाउनलाई तपाईंतिर हेर्छन् ।
All of these wait upon thee, to give them their food in its due season.
28 तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई दिनुहुँदा, तिनीहरूले बटुल्छन् । तपाईंले आफ्नो हात खोल्नुहुँदा, तिनीहरू सन्‍तुष्‍ट हुन्छन् ।
What thou givest them they gather: thou openest thy hand, they are satisfied with good.
29 तपाईंले आफ्नो मुख लुकाउनुहुँदा, तिनीहरू संकष्‍टमा पर्छन् । तपाईंले तिनीहरूको सास लिनुभयो भने, तिनीहरू मर्छन् र धूलोमा फर्किन्छन् ।
Thou hidest thy face, they suddenly vanish: thou takest away their spirit, they perish, and to their dust they return.
30 तपाईंले तपाईंको आत्मा पठाउनुहुँदा तिनीहरू सृष्‍टि हुन्छन् र तपाईंले गाउँलाई नयाँ तुल्याउनुहुन्छ ।
Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created; and thou renewest the face of the earth.
31 परमप्रभुको महिमा सदासर्वदा रहिरहोस् । परमप्रभु आफ्‍नो सृष्‍टिमा आनन्दित हुनुभएको होस् ।
The glory of the Lord will endure for ever; the Lord will rejoice in his works:
32 उहाँले तल पृथ्वीमा हेर्नुहुन्‍छ र त्‍यो हल्लिन्‍छ । उहाँले पहाडहरूलाई छुनुहुन्छ र तिनीहरूमा धूवाँ निस्कन्छ ।
He who looketh down on the earth, and she trembleth; who toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.
33 आफ्‍नो सारा जीवनभरि म परमप्रभुको निम्ति गीत गाउनेछु । म बाँचुन्‍जेल आफ्‍नो परमेश्‍वरको स्‍तुति गाउनेछु ।
I will sing unto the Lord while I live: I will sing praises to my God while I exist.
34 मेरो विचारहरू उहाँलाई मन पर्दो होस् । म परमप्रभुमा आनन्‍दित हुनेछु ।
May my speech be agreeable to him: I will indeed rejoice in the Lord.
35 पापीहरू पृथ्वीबाट लोप होऊन् र दुष्‍टहरू कदापि नरहून् । आफ्‍नो सारा जीवनभरि म परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर्छु । परमप्रभुको स्तुति होस् ।
May the sinners cease from off the earth, and the wicked be no more. Bless, O my soul, the Lord. Hallelujah.
