1मूर्ख मानिसले मात्र आफ्नो हृदयमा भन्छ, “ईश्वर छैन।” मूर्ख मानिसहरूले अनैतिक र घिनलाग्दा कामहरू गर्छन्। ती मध्ये एउटा पनि राम्रो काम हुँदैन।
1The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
2परमप्रभुले ज्ञानी मानिसहरू कोही छन् भनेर स्वर्गबाट तल हेर्नुहुन्छ। ज्ञानी मानिसहरूले सहयोगको निम्ति परमेश्वरलाई पुकार्छन्।
2The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.
3तर सबै मानिसहरू परमेश्वरबाट विमुख भएर टाढिए र दुष्ट भइसके। कुनै एकजना मानिसले पनि राम्रो काम गरेको छैनन्।
3They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
4दुष्ट मानिसहरूले मेरो प्रियजनहरूलाई नष्ट गरिसके अनि ती दुष्ट मानिसहरू परमेश्वरको विषयमा जान्दैनन्। दुष्ट मानिसहरूका लागि खानलाई प्रशस्त खाद्य छ, तर पनि तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई सम्मान गर्दैनन्।
4Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.

6[This verse may not be a part of this translation]
6Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.
7सियोनमा इस्राएल लाई बचाउने को छ? परमेश्वर बाहेक कोही पनि छैन! परमप्रभुका मानिसहरूलाई लगियो अनि कैदी बनाइयो। तर परमप्रभुले आफ्ना भक्तजनहरूलाई फर्काएर ल्याउनु हुनेछ, तब याकूब (इस्राएल ) खुशी हुनेछ।
7Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
