1 मेरो सारा जीवनले म परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर्नेछु । हे परमप्रभु मेरो परमेश्‍वर, तपाई अति महान् हुनुहुन्छ । तपाईं वैभव र ऐश्‍वर्यले विभूषित हुनुहुन्छ ।
Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, you are very great, clad in awful splendour,
2 तपाईंले आफूलाई लुगाले झैं ज्‍योतिले ढाक्‍नुहुन्छ । तपाईंले आकाशलाई पालको पर्दालाई झैं फैलाउनुहुन्छ ।
covered with robe of light. You stretch out the heavens like the cloth of a tent.
3 तपाईंले आफ्नो कोठाहरूका दलिनहरू बादलमा राख्‍नुहुन्छ । तपाईंले बदललाई आफ्नो रथ बनाउनुहुन्छ । तपाईं हावाको पखेटाहरूमा हिंड्‍नुहुन्छ ।
He lays the beams of his chambers on water. He takes dark clouds for his chariot, and rides on the wings of the wind.
4 उहाँले हावालाई आफ्नो दूतहरू र आगोका ज्वालाहरूलाई आफ्ना सेवकहरू बनाउनुहुन्छ ।
He takes the winds for his messengers, the fire and the flame for his servants.
5 उहाँले पृथ्वीका जगहरू बसाल्नुभयो र त्‍यो कहिल्यै हटाइनेछैन ।
He founded the earth upon pillars, to sustain it unshaken forever.
6 तपाईंले पृथ्वीलाई लुगाले झैं पानीले ढाक्‍नुभयो । पानीले पहाडहरू ढाके ।
With the garment of ocean he covered it, waters towered over the mountains.
7 तपाईंको हप्कीले पानीहरू पछि हटेर गए । तपाईंको गर्जनको सोरमा तिनीहरू भागे ।
But at your rebuke they fled, scared by the roar of your thunder,
8 तपाईंले तिनीहरूका निम्‍ति तोक्‍नुभएका ठाउँहरूमा पहाडहरू उठे र बेसीहरू फैलिए ।
mountains rose, valleys sank down to the place appointed for them.
9 तपाईंले तिनीहरूका निम्ति सिमाना तोक्‍नुभएको छ, जुन तिनीहरूले नाघ्‍ने छैनन् । तिनीहरूले पृथ्वीलाई फेरि ढाक्‍नेछैनन् ।
They dared not pass the bounds set for them, or cover the earth any more.
10 उहाँले मूलहरूलाई बेसीहरूमा बगाउनुभयो । पहाडहरूका बिचबाट खोलाहरू बग्छन् ।
He sent brooks into the valleys, they meander between the mountains.
11 तिनीहरूले मैदानका सबै जनावरलाई पानी दिन्‍छन् । जङ्गली गधाहरूले आफ्‍नो तिर्खा मेटाउँछन् ।
The wild beasts all drink from them, and the wild asses quench their thirst.
12 नदीका किनाराहरूमा चराहरूले आफ्‍ना गुँड बनाउँछन् । तिनीहरूले हाँगाहरूमा गाउँछन् ।
The birds have their home by the banks, and sing in the branches.
13 आकाशमा भएको पानीका आफ्‍ना भण्डारहरूबाट उहाँले पहाडहरूलाई पानीले भिजाउनुहुन्छ । पृथ्वी उहाँको श्रमको फलले पूर्ण छ ।
From his chambers above he gives drink to the mountains, and satisfies earth with the vials of heaven.
14 उहाँले गाईवस्‍तुको निम्ति घाँस र मानिसलाई खेती गर्न बिरुवाहरू उमार्नुहुन्छ, ताकि मनिसले पृथ्वीबाट खानेकुरा उत्पादन गरोस् ।
He makes grass grow for the cattle, and herbs for people. He brings bread out of the earth;
15 मानिसलाई खुसी राख्‍न दाखमद्य, त्यसको अनुहार चम्किलो पार्न तेल र त्यसको जीवन बचाउन खानेकुरा उहाँले बनाउनुहुन्छ ।
wine, to gladden hearts; oil, to make faces shine; bread, to strengthen hearts.
16 परमप्रभुका रूखहरूले प्रशस्‍त पानी पाउँछन् । लेबनानको देवदारु जसलाई उहाँले रोप्‍नुभयो ।
The trees of the Lord drink their fill the cedars he planted on Lebanon,
17 चराहरूले त्‍यहाँ गुँड बनाउँछन् । सारसले सल्लाका रूखहरूलाई आफ्नो घर बनाउँछ ।
where the little birds build their nest, and the stork whose home is the cypress.
18 घोरलहरू उच्‍च पहाडहरूतिर बस्छन् । पहाडका टाकुराहरू खरायोहरूका शरणस्थान हुन् ।
The high hills are for the wild goats, and the rocks are for coneys to hide in.
19 उहाँले चन्द्रमालाई ऋतु चिनाउनलाई तोक्‍नुभयो । सुर्यले आफ्‍नो अस्ताउने समय जान्दछ ।
He created the moon to mark seasons, and told the sun when to set.
20 तपाईंले रातको अँध्यारो बनाउनुहुन्छ, जब वनका सबै पशुहरू बाहिर निस्‍किन्‍छन् ।
You make it dark: night comes, when all the wild beasts creep out.
21 जवान सिंहहरू आफ्‍ना शिकारको निम्ति गर्जिन्छन् र परमेश्‍वरबाट आफ्‍नो खानेकुरा खोज्छन् ।
Young lions that roar for their prey, seeking their meat from God.
22 जब सूर्य उदाउँछ, तिनीहरू फर्कन्छन् र आफ्‍ना खोरहरूमा सुत्छन् ।
At sunrise they slink away, and lie down in their dens.
23 यसबिच मानिसहरू आ-आफ्ना काममा बाहिर जान्छन् र साँझसम्म नै परिश्रम गर्छन् ।
Then people go forth to their work, and toil till evening.
24 हे परमप्रभु, तपाईंका कामहरू कति धेरै र फरक किसिमका छन्! बुद्धिले तपाईंले तिनीहरू सबै बनाउनुभयो । पृथ्वी तपाईंको कामहरूले भरिन्‍छ ।
How many, O Lord, are your works, all of them made in wisdom! The earth is filled with your creatures.
25 त्यहाँ गहिरो र फराकिलो, साना र ठुला दुवै असंख्या प्राणीले भरिएको समुद्र छ ।
And there is the great broad sea, where are countless things in motion, living creatures, both great and small.
26 पानी जहाजहरू त्यहाँ यात्रा गर्छन् र लिव्यातन पनि त्यहाँ छ, जसलाई तपाईंले समुद्रमा खेल्नलाई बनाउनुभयो ।
There go the ships, and the Leviathan you made to play there.
27 यी सबैले समयमा आफ्‍नो खाना पाउनलाई तपाईंतिर हेर्छन् ।
They all look in hope to you, to give them their food in due season.
28 तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई दिनुहुँदा, तिनीहरूले बटुल्छन् । तपाईंले आफ्नो हात खोल्नुहुँदा, तिनीहरू सन्‍तुष्‍ट हुन्छन् ।
And you give with open hand; they gather and eat to their heart’s desire.
29 तपाईंले आफ्नो मुख लुकाउनुहुँदा, तिनीहरू संकष्‍टमा पर्छन् । तपाईंले तिनीहरूको सास लिनुभयो भने, तिनीहरू मर्छन् र धूलोमा फर्किन्छन् ।
When you hide your face, they are terrified; when you take their breath away, they die and go back to their dust.
30 तपाईंले तपाईंको आत्मा पठाउनुहुँदा तिनीहरू सृष्‍टि हुन्छन् र तपाईंले गाउँलाई नयाँ तुल्याउनुहुन्छ ।
But a breath from your lips creates them, and renews the face of the earth.
31 परमप्रभुको महिमा सदासर्वदा रहिरहोस् । परमप्रभु आफ्‍नो सृष्‍टिमा आनन्दित हुनुभएको होस् ।
May the glory of the Lord be forever, may the Lord rejoice in his works.
32 उहाँले तल पृथ्वीमा हेर्नुहुन्‍छ र त्‍यो हल्लिन्‍छ । उहाँले पहाडहरूलाई छुनुहुन्छ र तिनीहरूमा धूवाँ निस्कन्छ ।
A glance of his makes the earth tremble, a touch of his makes the hills smoke.
33 आफ्‍नो सारा जीवनभरि म परमप्रभुको निम्ति गीत गाउनेछु । म बाँचुन्‍जेल आफ्‍नो परमेश्‍वरको स्‍तुति गाउनेछु ।
I will sing to the Lord while I live, I will play to my God while I am.
34 मेरो विचारहरू उहाँलाई मन पर्दो होस् । म परमप्रभुमा आनन्‍दित हुनेछु ।
May my musing be sweet to him, for I rejoice in the Lord.
35 पापीहरू पृथ्वीबाट लोप होऊन् र दुष्‍टहरू कदापि नरहून् । आफ्‍नो सारा जीवनभरि म परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर्छु । परमप्रभुको स्तुति होस् ।
But may sinners be swept from the earth, and the wicked vanish forever. O my soul, bless the Lord. Hallelujah.
