Psalmi 90
1 Molitva. Mojsija, sluge Božjega. Jahve, ti nam bijaše okrilje od koljena do koljena.
A Prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, a habitation Thou — Thou hast been, To us — in generation and generation,
2 Prije nego se rodiše bregovi, prije nego postade kopno i krug zemaljski, od vijeka do vijeka, Bože, ti jesi!
Before mountains were brought forth, And Thou dost form the earth and the world, Even from age unto age Thou [art] God.
3 Smrtnike u prah vraćaš i veliš: “Vratite se, sinovi ljudski!”
Thou turnest man unto a bruised thing, And sayest, Turn back, ye sons of men.
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, For it passeth on, yea, a watch by night.
5 Razgoniš ih k'o jutarnji san, kao trava su što se zeleni:
Thou hast inundated them, they are asleep, In the morning as grass he changeth.
6 jutrom cvate i sva se zeleni, a uvečer - već se suši i vene.
In the morning it flourisheth, and hath changed, At evening it is cut down, and hath withered.
7 Zaista, izjeda nas tvoja srdžba i zbunjuje ljutina tvoja.
For we were consumed in Thine anger, And in Thy fury we have been troubled.
8 Naše si grijehe stavio pred svoje oči, naše potajne grijehe na svjetlost lica svojega.
Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, Our hidden things at the light of Thy face,
9 Jer svi naši dani prođoše u gnjevu tvojemu, kao uzdah dovršismo godine svoje.
For all our days pined away in Thy wrath, We consumed our years as a (meditation)
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.
Days of our years, in them [are] seventy years, And if, by reason of might, eighty years, Yet [is] their enlargement labour and vanity, For it hath been cut off hastily, and we fly away.
11 Tko će mjeriti žestinu gnjeva tvojega, tko proniknuti srdžbu tvoju?
Who knoweth the power of Thine anger? And according to Thy fear — Thy wrath?
12 Nauči nas dane naše brojiti, da steknemo mudro srce.
To number our days aright let [us] know, And we bring the heart to wisdom.
13 Vrati se k nama, Jahve! TÓa dokle ćeš? Milostiv budi slugama svojim!
Turn back, O Jehovah, till when? And repent concerning Thy servants.
14 Jutrom nas nasiti smilovanjem svojim, da kličemo i da se veselimo u sve dane!
Satisfy us at morn [with] Thy kindness, And we sing and rejoice all our days.
15 Obraduj nas za dane kad si nas šibao, za ljeta kad smo stradali!
Cause us to rejoice according to the days Wherein Thou hast afflicted us, The years we have seen evil.
16 Neka se na slugama tvojim pokaže djelo tvoje i tvoja slava na djeci njihovoj!
Let Thy work appear unto Thy servants, And Thine honour on their sons.
17 Dobrota Jahve, Boga našega, nek' bude nad nama daj da nam uspije djelo naših ruku, djelo ruku naših nek' uspije.
And let the pleasantness of Jehovah our God be upon us, And the work of our hands establish on us, Yea, the work of our hands establish it!
