1 जसरी हरिणले खोलाको पानीको तृष्णा गर्छ, त्यसरी नै, हे परमेश्‍वर, म तपाईंको तृष्णा गर्छु ।
Unto the end. The understanding of the sons of Korah. As the deer longs for fountains of water, so my soul longs for you, O God.
2 परमेश्‍वरको, जीवित परमेश्‍वरको तृष्णा म गर्छु, म कहिले आऊँ र परमेश्‍वरको सामु देखा परू?
My soul has thirsted for the strong living God. When will I draw close and appear before 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 bread, day and night. Meanwhile, it is said to me daily: “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 ।
These things I have remembered; and my soul within me, I have poured out. For I will cross into the place of the wonderful tabernacle, all the way to the house of God, with a voice of exultation and confession, the sound of feasting.
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 sad, my soul? And why do you disquiet me? Hope in God, for I will still confess to him: the salvation of my countenance,
6 हे मेरो परमेश्‍वर, मेरो प्राण मभित्रै निराश भएको छ, यसकारण यर्दनको भूमिबाट, हेर्मोनका तिन टाकुराबाट र मिसारको डाँडाबाट तपाईंलाई सम्झन्छु ।
and my God. My soul has been troubled within myself. Because of this, I will remember you from the land of the Jordan and from Hermon, from the little mountain.
7 तपाईंका झरनाहरूका हल्‍लामा सागरले सागरलाई बोलाउँछ । तपाईंका सबै छाल र तरङ्गहरू ममाथि गएका छन् ।
Abyss calls upon abyss, with the voice of your floodgate. All your heights and your waves have passed over me.
8 तापनि परमप्रभुले दिनको समयमा आफ्‍नो करारको विश्‍वस्‍ततालाई आज्ञा गर्नुहुनेछ । उहाँको गीत, मेरो जीवनको परमेश्‍वरमा गरेको प्रार्थना रातमा मसँग हुनेछ ।
In the daylight, the Lord has ordered his mercy; and in the night, a canticle to him. With me is 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, “You are my supporter. Why have you forgotten me? And why do I walk in mourning, while my adversary afflicts me?”
10 मेरा हाडहरूमा तरवार परेझैं, मेरा शत्रुहरूले मलाई हप्‍काउँछन्, तिनीहरू सधैं मलाई यसो भन्छन्, “तेरो परमेश्‍वर खोइ कहाँ छन्?”
While my bones are being broken, my enemies, who trouble me, have reproached me. Meanwhile, they say to me every single 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 ।
My soul, why are you saddened? And why do you disquiet me? Hope in God, for I will still confess to him: the salvation of my countenance and my God.
