1. हे परमेश्वर तू कब तक? क्या सदैव मुझे भूला रहेगा? तू कब तक अपना मुखड़ा मुझ से छिपाए रहेगा?

1. Unto the end, a psalm for David. The fool hath said in his heart: There is no God, They are corrupt, and are become abominable in their ways: there is none that doth good, no not one.

2. मैं कब तक अपने मन ही मन में युक्तियां करता रहूं, और दिन भर अपने हृदय में दुखित रहा करूं, कब तक मेरा शत्रु मुझ पर प्रबल रहेगा?

2. The Lord hath looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there be any that understand and seek God.

3. हे मेरे परमेश्वर यहोवा मेरी ओर ध्यान दे और मुझे उत्तर दे, मेरी आंखों में ज्योति आने दे, नहीं तो मुझे मृत्यु की नींद आ जाएगी;

3. They are all gone aside, they are become unprofitable together: there is none that doth good, no not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre: with their tongues they acted deceitfully; the poison of asps is under their lips. Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; their feet are swift to shed blood. Destruction and unhappiness in their ways: and the way of peace they have not known: there is no fear of God before their eyes.

4. ऐसा न हो कि मेरा शत्रु कहे, कि मैं उस पर प्रबल हो गया; और ऐसा न हो कि जब मैं डगमगाने लगूं तो मेरे शत्रु मगन हों।।

4. Shall not all they know that work iniquity, who devour my people as they eat bread?

5. परन्तु मैं ने तो तेरी करूणा पर भरोसा रखा है; मेरा हृदय तेरे उद्धार से मगन होगा।

5. They have not called upon the Lord: there have they trembled for fear, where there was no fear.

6. मैं परमेश्वर के नाम का भजन गाऊंगा, क्योंकि उस ने मेरी भलाई की है।।

6. For the Lord is in the just generation: you have confounded the counsel of the poor man, but the Lord is his hope.
