1 हे परमेश्‍वर, हामीले हाम्रो कानले सुनेका छौं, हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूका समयमा, प्राचीन दिनहरूमा जे काम तपाईंले गर्नुभयो ति तिनीहरूले हामीलाई भनेका छन् ।
For the choirmaster. A Maskil of the sons of Korah. We have heard with our ears, O God; our fathers have told us the work You did in their days, in the days of old.
2 तपाईंले जातिहरूलाई आफ्नै हातले लखेट्नुभयो, तर तपाईंले हाम्रा मानिसहरूलाई बसाल्नुभयो । तपाईंले मानिसहरूलाई कष्‍ट दिनुभयो तर तपाईंले देशमा हाम्रा मानिसहरूलाई फैलाउनुभयो ।
With Your hand You drove out the nations and planted our fathers there; You crushed the peoples and cast them out.
3 किनकि तिनीहरूले आफ्‍नो लागि देश अधिकार गर्नलाई आफ्नै तरवारले प्राप्‍त गरेनन्, न त तिनीहरूको आफ्नै पाखुराले तिनीहरूलाई बचाए । तर तपाईंको दाहिने हात, तपाईंको पाखुरा र तपाईंको मुहारको ज्‍योतिले बचायो, किनभने उनीहरूप्रति तपाईं कृपालु हुनुहुन्थ्यो ।
For it was not by their sword that they took the land; their arm did not bring them victory. It was by Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your face, because You favored them.
4 हे परमेश्‍वर, तपाईं मेरो राजा हुनुहुन्छ । याकूबको निम्ति विजय दिनुहोस् ।
You are my King, O God, who ordains victories for Jacob.
5 तपाईंद्वारा नै हामी आफ्‍ना शत्रुहरूलाई धकेल्‍नेछौं । हाम्रा विरुद्ध खडा हुनेहरूलाई तपाईंको नाउँद्वारा नै हामी कुल्चनेछौं ।
Through You we repel our foes; through Your name we trample our enemies.
6 किनकि म आफ्‍नो धनुमा भरोसा गर्नेछैनँ, न त मलाई मेरो तरवारले बचाउनेछ ।
For I do not trust in my bow, nor does my sword save me.
7 तर हाम्रो शत्रहरूबाट तपाईंले हामीलाई बाचउनुभएको छ र हामीलाई घृणा गर्नेहरूलाई लाजमा पार्नुभएको छ ।
For You save us from our enemies; You put those who hate us to shame.
8 दिनभरि हामीले परमेश्‍वरमा नै गर्व गरेका छौं र तपाईंको नाउँलाई नै हामी सदासर्वदा धन्यवाद दिनेछौं । सेला
In God we have boasted all day long, and Your name we will praise forever.
9 तर अहिले तपाईंले हामीलाई फाल्‍नुभएको र हामीमाथि अनादर ल्याउनुभएको छ, र हाम्रा फौजसँग तपाईं जानुहुन्‍न ।
But You have rejected and humbled us; You no longer go forth with our armies.
10 तपाईंले हामीलाई शत्रुबाट फर्काउनुहुन्छ । अनि हामीलाई घृणा गर्नेहरूले आफ्नो निम्ति लूट्न्छन् ।
You have made us retreat from the foe, and those who hate us have plundered us.
11 तपाईंले हामीलाई मार्न लगिएका भेडाझैं बनाउनुभएको छ र हामीलाई जातिहरूका माझमा तितरबितर पार्नुभएको छ ।
You have given us up as sheep to be devoured; You have scattered us among the nations.
12 तपाईंले आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई सित्तैंमा बेच्‍नुभएको छ, यसो गरेर तपाईंले आफ्‍नो सम्पत्ति वृद्धि गर्नुभएको छैन ।
You sell Your people for nothing; no profit do You gain from their sale.
13 तपाईंले हामीलाई हाम्रो छिमेकीहरूको हप्‍की बनाउनुन्‍छ, हाम्रा वरिपरिकाहरूले गिल्ला र खिसी गरे ।
You have made us a reproach to our neighbors, a mockery and derision to those around us.
14 तपाईंले हामीलाई जातिहरूका माझमा अपमान, मानिसहरूले घृणाले शिर हल्लाउने बनाउनुहुन्छ ।
You have made us a byword among the nations, a laughingstock among the peoples.
15 दिनभरि मेरि अनादर मेरो सामु हुन्‍छ र मेरो मुहारको लाजले मलाई ढाकेको छ,
All day long my disgrace is before me, and shame has covered my face,
16 हप्‍काउने र अपमान गर्ने सोरको कारणले, शत्रुहरू र बदला लिनेहरूको कारणले ।
at the voice of the scorner and reviler, because of the enemy, bent on revenge.
17 यी सबै कुरा हामीमा हुन आएका छन् । तापनि हामीले तपाईंलाई बिर्सेका वा तपाईंको करारसँग झुटो किसिमले व्यवहार गरेका छैनौं ।
All this has come upon us, though we have not forgotten You or betrayed Your covenant.
18 हाम्रो हृदय बरालिएको छैन । हाम्रा कदमहरू तपाईको मार्गबाट भड्‍किएका छैनन् ।
Our hearts have not turned back; our steps have not strayed from Your path.
19 तापनि तपाईंले हामीलाई गम्‍भिर रूपले नष्‍ट पारेर स्यालहरूका ठाउँ बनाउनुभएको छ र हामीलाई मृत्युको छायाले ढाक्‍नुभएको छ ।
But You have crushed us in the lair of jackals; You have covered us with deepest darkness.
20 हामीले आफ्‍नो परमेश्‍वरको नाउँ बिर्सेका वा हाम्रा हातहरू विदेशी देवताहरूतिर फैलाएका छौं भने,
If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god,
21 के परमेश्‍वर यो कुरा खोजी गर्नुहुन्‍नथ्यो र? किनकि हृदयका गोप्यताहरू उहाँले जान्‍नुहुन्छ ।
would not God have discovered, since He knows the secrets of the heart?
22 वस्तवमा, तपाईंकै खातिर हामी दिनभरि मारिंदैछौं । मार्न लगिएका भेडाहरूझै हामी ठानिएका छौं ।
Yet for Your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.
23 हे परमप्रभु, जाग्‍नुहोस्, तपाईं किन सुत्‍नुहुन्छ? उठ्नुहोस्, हामीलाई स्थायी रूपमा नफाल्‍नुहोस् ।
Wake up, O Lord! Why are You sleeping? Arise! Do not reject us forever.
24 तपाईंले किन आफ्नो मुहार लुकाउनुहुन्‍छ र हाम्रा कष्‍ट र हाम्रा अत्‍याचारलाई बिर्सनुहुन्छ?
Why do You hide Your face and forget our affliction and oppression?
25 किनकि हामी पग्‍लेर धूलोमा मिलेका छौं । हाम्रा शरीरहरू भूइँमा टाँसिन्छन् ।
For our soul has sunk to the dust; our bodies cling to the earth.
26 हाम्रो सहायताको निम्ति उठ्नुहोस् र आफ्‍नो करारको विश्‍वस्‍तताको निम्‍ति हाम्रो उद्धार गर्नुहोस् ।
Rise up; be our help! Redeem us on account of Your loving devotion.
