1 मैले निर्णय गरें, “म जे भन्छु सो कुरामा म सावधान हुनेछु ताकि मेरो जिब्रोले म पाप नगरुँ । खराब मानिसको उपस्थितिमा हुँदा म आफ्‍नो मुखलाई चूप राख्‍नेछु ।”
To the chief Musician, even to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David. I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.
2 म शान्‍त बसें । कुनै असल कुरा भन्‍नलाई पनि मैले आफ्‍नो मुख खोलिनँ र मेरो दुःख झन् बढी भयो ।
I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred.
3 मेरो हृदय तातो भयो । जब मैले यी कुराका बारेमा विचार गरें, तब त्‍यो आगोझैं बल्यो । तब अन्तमा मैले बोलें ।
My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then I spoke with my tongue,
4 “हे परमप्रभु, मेरो जीवनको अन्त कहिले हुन्छ र मेरो समय कहिलेसम्‍म छ सो मलाई जान्‍न दिनुहोस् । म कति क्षणिक छु भनी मलाई देखाउनुहोस् ।
LORD, make me to know my end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am.
5 हेर्नुहोस्, तपाईंले मेरो समय मेरो हातको बित्ताभरिको मात्र बनाउनुभएको छ र मेरो जीवनकाल तपाईंको सामु केही पनि होइन । निश्‍चय नै, हरेक मानिस एक सास मात्र हो । सेला
Behold, thou hast made my days as an hand breadth; and my age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. (Selah)
6 निश्‍चय नै हरेक मानिस छाया झैं हिंड्‍डुल गर्छ । निश्‍चय नै हरेक व्‍यक्‍ति धन थुपार्न हतार गर्छ, तापनि ति कसले पाउनेछ भनी तिनीहरू जान्दैनन् ।
Surely every man walketh in a vain show: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.
7 हे परमप्रभु, म के पर्खिरहेको छु? मेरो एक मात्र आसा तपाईं हुनुहुन्छ ।
And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.
8 मेरा पापहरूबाट मलाई बचाउनुहोस् । मलाई मूर्खहरूको निन्दा नबाउनुहोस् ।
Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish.
9 म शान्‍त छु र मेरो मुख खोल्न सक्दिनँ, किनभने त्‍यो गर्ने तपाईं नै हुनुहुन्छ ।
I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it.
10 मलाई चोट दिन छोड्नुहोस् । तपाईंको हातको मुक्‍काले म विह्‍वल भएको छु ।
Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thy hand.
11 जब तपाईंले मानिसहरूलाई पापको निम्ति अनुशासन गर्नुहुन्छ, तब तिनीहरूले इच्छा गर्ने कुरालाई तपाईंले कीराले झैं नष्‍ट पार्नुहुन्छ । निश्‍चय नै सबै मानिसहरू बाफबाहेक केही पनि होइन । सेला
When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man is vanity. (Selah)
12 हे परमप्रभु, मेरो प्रार्थना सुन्‍नुहोस् र मेरो कुरामा ध्‍यान दिनुहोस् । मेरो रोदन सुन्‍नुहोस् । मेरो कुरामा बहिरो नहुनुहोस्, किनकि तपाईंसँग म विदेशीजस्तै, मेरा सबै पुर्खाजस्तै एक जना शरणार्थी हुँ ।
Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear to my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.
13 मबाट तपाईंको हेराइलाई हटाउनुहोस् ताकि म मर्नअघि म फेरि मुसुक्‍क हाँस्‍न सकौं।
O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I depart, and be no more.
