1The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt. They have done abominable works. There is none who does good.
1मूर्ख मानिसले मात्र आफ्नो हृदयमा भन्छ, “ईश्वर छैन।” मूर्ख मानिसहरूले अनैतिक र घिनलाग्दा कामहरू गर्छन्। ती मध्ये एउटा पनि राम्रो काम हुँदैन।
2Yahweh looked down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who understood, who sought after God.
2परमप्रभुले ज्ञानी मानिसहरू कोही छन् भनेर स्वर्गबाट तल हेर्नुहुन्छ। ज्ञानी मानिसहरूले सहयोगको निम्ति परमेश्वरलाई पुकार्छन्।
3They have all gone aside. They have together become corrupt. There is none who does good, no, not one.
3तर सबै मानिसहरू परमेश्वरबाट विमुख भएर टाढिए र दुष्ट भइसके। कुनै एकजना मानिसले पनि राम्रो काम गरेको छैनन्।
4Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and don’t call on Yahweh?
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।
5There they were in great fear, for God is in the generation of the righteous.

7Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When Yahweh restores the fortunes of his people, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
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।
