1 हे परमप्रभु, न्यायको निम्ति मेरो बिन्ती सुन्‍नुहोस् । मदतको निम्‍ति मेरो पुकारामा ध्यान दिनुहोस् । मेरो छलरहित ओठको मेरो प्रार्थनामा कान थाप्‍नुहोस् ।
A Prayer. Of David. Let my cause come to your ears, O Lord, give attention to my cry; give ear to my prayer which goes not out from false lips.
2 मेरो निर्दोषता तपाईंको उपस्थितिबाट आओस् । तपाईंको आँखाले जे ठिक छ सो देखून् ।
Be my judge; for your eyes see what is right.
3 तपाईंले मेरो हृदय जाँच्‍नुहुन्छ भने, राति तपाईं मकहाँ आउनुहुन्छ भने, तपाईंले मलाई शुद्ध पार्नुहुनेछ र कुनै दुष्‍ट योजनाहरू पाउनुहुनेछैन । मेरो मुखले अपराध गर्नेछैन ।
You have put my heart to the test, searching me in the night; you have put me to the test and seen no evil purpose in me; I will keep my mouth from sin.
4 मानिसजातिका कामहरूका बारेमा, तपाईंको मुखको वचनले मैले आफैंलाई अराजकका चालबाट अलग राखेको छु ।
As for the works of men, by the word of your lips I have kept myself from the ways of the violent.
5 मेरा पाइलाहरू तपाईंका मार्गहरूमा दृढतासाथ अडिग छन् । मेरा पाइलाहरू चिप्‍लेका छैनन् ।
I have kept my feet in your ways, my steps have not been turned away.
6 हे परमेश्‍वर, म तपाईंमा पुकार्छु, किनकि तपाईंले मलाई जवाफ दिनुहुन्छ । आफ्‍नो कान मतिर फर्काउनुहोस् र म बोल्दा सुन्‍नुहोस् ।
My cry has gone up to you, for you will give me an answer, O God: let your ear be turned to me, and give attention to my words.
7 आफ्‍ना शत्रुहरूबाट तपाईंमा शरण लिनेहरूलाई तपाईं जसले आफ्नो दाहिने बाहुलिले बचाउनुहुन्छ, आफ्‍नो करारको विश्‍वस्‍तता अचम्‍म किसिमले देखाउनुहोस् ।
Make clear the wonder of your mercy, O saviour of those who put their faith in your right hand, from those who come out against them.
8 आफ्‍नो आँखाको नानीलाई झैं मेरो सुरक्षा गर्नुहोस् । आफ्‍नो पखेटाको छायामुनि मलाई लुकाउनुहोस् ।
Keep me as the light of your eyes, covering me with the shade of your wings,
9 मलाई आक्रमण गर्ने व्‍यक्‍तिको उपस्थितिबाट, मलाई घेरा हाल्ने मेरा शत्रुहरूबाट ।
From the evil-doers who are violent to me, and from those who are round me, desiring my death.
10 तिनीहरूले कसैलाई दया गर्दैनन् । तिनीहरूका मुखहरूले घमण्डसाथ बोल्छन् ।
They are shut up in their fat: with their mouths they say words of pride.
11 तिनीहरूले मेरा पाइलाहरूलाई घेरेका छन् । मलाई प्रहार गरेर जमिनमा ढाल्‍नलाई तिनीहरूले आफ्‍ना आँखा लगाउँछन् ।
They have made a circle round our steps: their eyes are fixed on us, forcing us down to the earth;
12 तिनीहरू शिकारको उत्कट इच्छा गर्ने सिंहझैं, लुक्‍ने ठाउँहरूमा ढुकिरहेको जवान सिंहझैं छन् ।
Like a lion desiring its food, and like a young lion waiting in secret places.
13 हे परमप्रभु, उठ्नुहोस् । तिनीहरूलाई आक्रमण गर्नुहोस् । तिनीहरूकै सामु तिनीहरूलाई पछार्नुहोस् । तपाईंको तरवारले मेरो जीवनलाई दुष्‍टबाट बचाउनुहोस् ।
Up! Lord, come out against him, make him low, with your sword be my saviour from the evil-doer.
14 हे परमप्रभु, तपाईंको हातले मानिसहरूबाट मलाई छुटकारा दिनुहोस्, यस संसारका मानिसहरू जसको समृद्धि यस जीवनमा मात्र छ । तपाईंले आफ्ना बहुमूल्यहरूका पेट दौलतले भर्नुहुनेछ । तिनीहरूका धेरै छोराछोरी हुनेछन् र आफ्‍ना धन आफ्‍ना छोराछोरीलाई छोड्नेछन् ।
With your hand, O Lord, from men, even men of the world, whose heritage is in this life, and whom you make full with your secret wealth: they are full of children; after their death their offspring take the rest of their goods.
15 मेरो बारेमा, म धार्मिकतामा तपाईंको मुहार हेर्नेछु । तपाईंको दृष्‍टिमा म ब्युँझँदा, म सन्तुष्‍ट हुनेछु ।
As for me, I will see your face in righteousness: when I am awake it will be joy enough for me to see your form.
