1मूर्ख मानिसले मात्र आफ्नो हृदयमा भन्छ, “ईश्वर छैन।” मूर्ख मानिसहरूले अनैतिक र घिनलाग्दा कामहरू गर्छन्। ती मध्ये एउटा पनि राम्रो काम हुँदैन।
1{To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David.} The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They have corrupted themselves, 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।
2Jehovah looked down from the heavens upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.
3तर सबै मानिसहरू परमेश्वरबाट विमुख भएर टाढिए र दुष्ट भइसके। कुनै एकजना मानिसले पनि राम्रो काम गरेको छैनन्।
3They have all gone aside, they are together become corrupt: there is none that doeth good, not even 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, eating up my people [as] they eat bread? They call not upon Jehovah.

6[This verse may not be a part of this translation]
6Ye have shamed the counsel of the afflicted, because Jehovah [was] 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 Jehovah turneth again the captivity of his people, Jacob shall be glad, Israel shall rejoice.
