1 जसरी हरिणले खोलाको पानीको तृष्णा गर्छ, त्यसरी नै, हे परमेश्‍वर, म तपाईंको तृष्णा गर्छु ।
To the chief music-maker. Maschil. Of the sons of Korah. Like the desire of the roe for the water-streams, so is my soul's desire for you, O God.
2 परमेश्‍वरको, जीवित परमेश्‍वरको तृष्णा म गर्छु, म कहिले आऊँ र परमेश्‍वरको सामु देखा परू?
My soul is dry for need of God, the living God; when may I come and see the face of God?
3 दिनरात मेरा आँशु मेरो खानेकुरा भएका छन्, मेरा शत्रुहरूले मलाई सधैं यसो भन्‍छन्, “तेरो परमेश्‍वर खोइ कहाँ छन्?”
My tears have been my food day and night, while they keep saying to me, Where is your God?
4 मेरो प्राण खन्याउँदा यी कुराहरू मनमा म याद गर्छुः कसरी म भिडसँग गएँ, अनि उत्सव मनाउने धेरै जनाको भिडसँग आनन्द र प्रशंसाको सोरसँगै परमेश्‍वरको मन्‍दिरमा तिनीहरूलाई डोर्‍याएँ ।
Let my soul be overflowing with grief when these things come back to my mind, how I went in company to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with the song of those who were keeping the feast.
5 ए मेरो प्राण, तँ किन निराश हुन्छस्? मभित्रै तँ किन उदाश हुन्छस्? परमेश्‍वरमा आसा राख्, किनकि म फेरि पनि उहाँको प्रशंसा गर्नेछु जो मेरो उद्धार हुनुहुन्छ ।
Why are you crushed down, O my soul? and why are you troubled in me? put your hope in God; for I will again give him praise who is my help and my God.
6 हे मेरो परमेश्‍वर, मेरो प्राण मभित्रै निराश भएको छ, यसकारण यर्दनको भूमिबाट, हेर्मोनका तिन टाकुराबाट र मिसारको डाँडाबाट तपाईंलाई सम्झन्छु ।
My soul is crushed down in me, so I will keep you in mind; from the land of Jordan and of the Hermons, from the hill Mizar.
7 तपाईंका झरनाहरूका हल्‍लामा सागरले सागरलाई बोलाउँछ । तपाईंका सबै छाल र तरङ्गहरू ममाथि गएका छन् ।
Deep is sounding to deep at the noise of your waterfalls; all your waves have gone rolling over me.
8 तापनि परमप्रभुले दिनको समयमा आफ्‍नो करारको विश्‍वस्‍ततालाई आज्ञा गर्नुहुनेछ । उहाँको गीत, मेरो जीवनको परमेश्‍वरमा गरेको प्रार्थना रातमा मसँग हुनेछ ।
But the Lord will send his mercy in the daytime, and in the night his song will be with me, a prayer to the God of my life.
9 परमेश्‍वर, मेरा चट्टानलाई म भन्‍नेछु, “तपाईंले मलाई किन बिर्सनुभएको छ? शत्रुले थिचेको कारणले मैले किन शोक गर्नुपर्ने?”
I will say to God my Rock, Why have you let me go from your memory? why do I go in sorrow because of the attacks of my haters?
10 मेरा हाडहरूमा तरवार परेझैं, मेरा शत्रुहरूले मलाई हप्‍काउँछन्, तिनीहरू सधैं मलाई यसो भन्छन्, “तेरो परमेश्‍वर खोइ कहाँ छन्?”
The cruel words of my haters are like a crushing of my bones; when they say to me every day, Where is your God?
11 ए मेरो प्राण, तँ किन निराश हुन्छस्? मभित्रै तँ किन उदाश हुन्छस्? परमेश्‍वरमा आसा राख्, किनकि म फेरि पनि उहाँको प्रशंसा गर्नेछु जो मेरो उद्धार र मेरो परमेश्‍वर हुनुहुन्छ ।
Why are you crushed down, O my soul? and why are you troubled in me? put your hope in God; for I will again give him praise who is my help and my God.
