Psalms 90
1 A Prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, you have been our resting-place in all generations.
Molitva. Mojsija, sluge Božjega. Jahve, ti nam bijaše okrilje od koljena do koljena.
2 Before the mountains were made, before you had given birth to the earth and the world, before time was, and for ever, you are God.
Prije nego se rodiše bregovi, prije nego postade kopno i krug zemaljski, od vijeka do vijeka, Bože, ti jesi!
3 You send man back to his dust; and say, Go back, you children of men.
Smrtnike u prah vraćaš i veliš: “Vratite se, sinovi ljudski!”
4 For to you a thousand years are no more than yesterday when it is past, and like a watch in the night.
Jer je tisuću godina u očima tvojim k'o jučerašnji dan koji je minuo i kao straža noćna.
Razgoniš ih k'o jutarnji san, kao trava su što se zeleni:
6 In the morning it is green; in the evening it is cut down, and becomes dry.
jutrom cvate i sva se zeleni, a uvečer - već se suši i vene.
7 We are burned up by the heat of your passion, and troubled by your wrath.
Zaista, izjeda nas tvoja srdžba i zbunjuje ljutina tvoja.
8 You have put our evil doings before you, our secret sins in the light of your face.
Naše si grijehe stavio pred svoje oči, naše potajne grijehe na svjetlost lica svojega.
9 For all our days have gone by in your wrath; our years come to an end like a breath.
Jer svi naši dani prođoše u gnjevu tvojemu, kao uzdah dovršismo godine svoje.
10 The measure of our life is seventy years; and if through strength it may be eighty years, its pride is only trouble and sorrow, for it comes to an end and we are quickly gone.
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.
11 Who has knowledge of the power of your wrath, or who takes note of the weight of your passion?
Tko će mjeriti žestinu gnjeva tvojega, tko proniknuti srdžbu tvoju?
12 So give us knowledge of the number of our days, that we may get a heart of wisdom.
Nauči nas dane naše brojiti, da steknemo mudro srce.
13 Come back, O Lord; how long? let your purpose for your servants be changed.
Vrati se k nama, Jahve! TÓa dokle ćeš? Milostiv budi slugama svojim!
14 In the morning give us your mercy in full measure; so that we may have joy and delight all our days.
Jutrom nas nasiti smilovanjem svojim, da kličemo i da se veselimo u sve dane!
15 Make us glad in reward for the days of our sorrow, and for the years in which we have seen evil.
Obraduj nas za dane kad si nas šibao, za ljeta kad smo stradali!
16 Make your work clear to your servants, and your glory to their children.
Neka se na slugama tvojim pokaže djelo tvoje i tvoja slava na djeci njihovoj!
17 Let the pleasure of the Lord our God be on us: O Lord, give strength to the work of our hands.
Dobrota Jahve, Boga našega, nek' bude nad nama daj da nam uspije djelo naših ruku, djelo ruku naših nek' uspije.
