Psalmi 90
1 Molitva. Mojsija, sluge Božjega. Jahve, ti nam bijaše okrilje od koljena do koljena.
A Prayer by Moses, the Man of God. Lord! a dwelling-place, hast, thou, become to us, From generation to generation:
2 Prije nego se rodiše bregovi, prije nego postade kopno i krug zemaljski, od vijeka do vijeka, Bože, ti jesi!
Before, the mountains, were born, Or thou hadst brought forth the earth and the world, Even, from age to age, thou, [wast] GOD.
3 Smrtnike u prah vraćaš i veliš: “Vratite se, sinovi ljudski!”
Thou causest man to return unto dust, And hast said—Return, ye sons of Adam!
4 Jer je tisuću godina u očima tvojim k'o jučerašnji dan koji je minuo i kao straža noćna.
For, a thousand years, in thine eyes, [are], As yesterday, in that it passed away, Or [as] a watch in the night.
5 Razgoniš ih k'o jutarnji san, kao trava su što se zeleni:
Thou hast snatched them away, A sleep, do they become, In the morning, [they are] like grass that shooteth up,
6 jutrom cvate i sva se zeleni, a uvečer - već se suši i vene.
In the morning, it sprouteth and shooteth up, By the evening, it is cut down and withered.
7 Zaista, izjeda nas tvoja srdžba i zbunjuje ljutina tvoja.
For we are consumed in thine anger, And, in thy wrath, are we dismayed;
8 Naše si grijehe stavio pred svoje oči, naše potajne grijehe na svjetlost lica svojega.
Thou hast set, Our iniquities before thee, Our secret near the luminary of thy face.
9 Jer svi naši dani prođoše u gnjevu tvojemu, kao uzdah dovršismo godine svoje.
For, all our days, decline in thy wrath, —We end our years like a sigh.
10 Zbroj naše dobi sedamdeset je godina, ako smo snažni, i osamdeset; a većina od njih muka je i ništavost: jer prolaze brzo i mi letimo odavle.
The days of our years, have, in them, three score years and ten, And, if, by reason of strength, they have fourscore years, Yet, their boast, is labour and sorrow, For it hath passed quickly, and we have flown away.
11 Tko će mjeriti žestinu gnjeva tvojega, tko proniknuti srdžbu tvoju?
Who knoweth the strength of thine anger? Even, according to the fear of thee, is thy wrath!
12 Nauči nas dane naše brojiti, da steknemo mudro srce.
How to number our days, so grant us to know, That we may win us a heart that hath wisdom.
13 Vrati se k nama, Jahve! TÓa dokle ćeš? Milostiv budi slugama svojim!
Return, Yahweh, oh how long? And have compassion upon thy servants;
14 Jutrom nas nasiti smilovanjem svojim, da kličemo i da se veselimo u sve dane!
Satisfy us, in the morning, with thy lovingkindness, That we may shout aloud and be glad, Throughout all our days.
15 Obraduj nas za dane kad si nas šibao, za ljeta kad smo stradali!
Make us glad, according to, The days thou hast humbled us, The years we have seen misfortune:
16 Neka se na slugama tvojim pokaže djelo tvoje i tvoja slava na djeci njihovoj!
Let thy work, appear unto thy servants, And, thy majesty, upon their children;
17 Dobrota Jahve, Boga našega, nek' bude nad nama daj da nam uspije djelo naših ruku, djelo ruku naših nek' uspije.
And let the delightfulness of Adonay our God be upon us, —And, the work of our hands, establish thou upon us, Yea, the work of our hands, establish thou it.
