Psalms 90
1 Lord, you have always (been [like] a home for us/protected us) [MET].
(En Bøn af den Guds Mand Moses.) Herre, du var vor Bolig slægt efter slægt.
2 Before you created the mountains, before you formed the earth and everything that is in it, you were eternally God, and you will be God forever.
Førend Bjergene fødtes og Jord og Jorderig blev til, fra Evighed til Evighed er du, o Gud!
3 [When people die], you cause their corpses to become soil again; you change their corpses to become dirt like [the first man] was created from.
Mennesket gør du til Støv igen, du siger: "Vend tilbage, I Menneskebørn!"
4 When you (consider/think about) time, 1,000 years are [as short as] [SIM] one day which passes; [you consider that] [HYP] they are as short as a few hours in the night.
Thi tusind År er i dine Øjne som Dagen i Går, der svandt, som en Nattevagt.
5 You cause people suddenly to die [MET]; they [live only a short time], like a dream lasts only a short time. They are like grass/weeds [SIM] that grow up.
Du skyller dem bort, de bliver som en Søvn. Ved Morgen er de som Græsset, der gror;
6 In the morning [DOU] the grass sprouts and grows well, but in the evening it dries up and (completely withers/dies).
ved Morgen gror det og blomstrer, ved Aften er det vissent og tørt.
7 [Similarly], [because of the sins that we have committed], you become angry with us; you terrify us and then you destroy us.
Thi ved din Vrede svinder vi hen, og ved din Harme forfærdes vi.
8 [It is as though] you place our sins in front of you, you spread out even our secret sins where you can see them.
Vor Skyld har du stillet dig for Øje, vor skjulte Brøst for dit Åsyns Lys.
9 Because you are angry with us, you cause our lives to end; the years that we live pass as quickly as a sigh does.
Thi alle vore Dage glider hen i din Vrede, vore År svinder hen som et Suk.
10 People live for only 70 years; but if they are strong, some of them live for 80 years. But even during good years we have much pain and troubles; our lives soon end, and we die [EUP].
Vore Livsdage er halvfjerdsindstyve År, og kommer det højt, da firsindstyve. Deres Herlighed er Møje og Slid, thi hastigt går det, vi flyver af Sted.
11 No one [RHQ] has fully experienced the powerful things you can do to them when you are angry with them, and people are not afraid that you will greatly punish them because of your being angry with them.
Hvem fatter din Vredes Vælde, din Harme i Frygt for dig!
12 So teach/help us to realize that we live for only a short time in order that we may [use our time] wisely.
At tælle vore Dage lære du os, så vi kan få Visdom i Hjertet!
13 Yahweh, how long [will you be angry with us]? Pity us who serve you.
Vend tilbage, HERRE! Hvor længe! Hav Medynk med dine Tjenere;
14 Each morning show us that your faithfully loving us is enough for us in order that we may shout joyfully and be happy for the rest of our lives.
mæt os årle med din Miskundhed, så vi kan fryde og glæde os alle vore Dage.
15 Cause us to now be as happy for as many years as you (afflicted us/caused us to be sad) and we experienced troubles.
Glæd os det Dagetal, du ydmygede os, det Åremål, da vi led ondt!
16 Enable us to see the [great] things that you do and enable our descendants to [also] see your glorious power.
Lad dit Værk åbenbares for dine Tjenere og din Herlighed over deres Børn!
17 Lord, our God, give us your blessings and enable us to be successful; yes, cause us to be successful in [everything] that we do [DOU]!
HERREN vor Guds Livsalighed være over os! Og frem vore Hænders Værk for os, ja frem vore Hænders Værk!
