Psalmi 90
1 Gospod, ti si bil naše bivališče za vse rodove.
“BOOK IV. A prayer of Moses, the man of God.” LORD! thou hast been our dwelling-place In all generations!
2 Preden so bile rojene gore, oziroma kadarkoli si oblikoval zemljo in zemeljski [krog], celo od večnosti do večnosti, si ti Bog.
Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting thou art God!
3 Človeka obračaš k uničenju in praviš: »Vrnite se, vi človeški otroci.«
But man thou turnest again to dust, And sayst, “Return, ye children of men!”
4 Kajti tisoč let v tvojem pogledu je samo kakor včerajšnji dan, ki je minil in kakor straža v noči.
For a thousand years are, in thy sight, As yesterday when it is past, And as a watch in the night.
5 Odnašaš jih proč kakor s poplavo; oni so kakor spanec. Zjutraj so podobni travi, ki raste.
Thou carriest him away as with a flood; He is a dream; In the morning he springeth up like grass,
6 Zjutraj cveti in raste, zvečer je odrezana in ovene.
Which flourisheth and shooteth up in the morning, And in the evening is cut down, and withered.
7 Kajti použiti smo s tvojo jezo in s tvojim besom smo zbegani.
For we are consumed by thine anger, And by thy wrath are we destroyed.
8 Predse si postavil naše krivičnosti, naše skrite grehe v svetlobo svojega obličja.
Thou settest our iniquities before thee, Our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
9 Kajti vsi naši dnevi so minili v tvojem besu. Svoja leta smo preživeli kakor zgodbo, ki je povedana.
By reason of thine anger all our days vanish away; We spend our years like a thought.
10 Dni naših let je sedemdeset let in če jih je zaradi razloga moči osemdeset let, je vendarle njihova moč trud in bridkost, kajti to je kmalu odrezano in mi odletimo.
The days of our life are threescore years and ten, And, by reason of strength, may be fourscore years: Yet is the pride of them weariness and sorrow; For it vanisheth swiftly, and we fly away.
11 Kdo pozna moč tvoje jeze? Celó glede na tvoj strah, tak je tvoj bes.
Yet who attendeth to the power of thine anger? Who with due reverence regardeth thine indignation?
12 Zaradi tega nas uči šteti naše dneve, da bomo svoja srca lahko posvetili modrosti.
Teach us so to number our days, That we may apply our hearts to wisdom!
13 Vrni se, oh Gospod, doklej? To naj te pokesa glede tvojih služabnikov.
Desist, O LORD! How long—? Have compassion upon thy servants!
14 Oh zgodaj nas nasiti s svojim usmiljenjem, da se bomo lahko veselili in bomo veseli vse naše dni.
Satisfy us speedily with thy mercy, That we may rejoice and be glad all our days!
15 Stôri nas vesele glede na dneve, v katerih si nas prizadel in leta, v katerih smo videli zlo.
Make us glad according to the time in which thou hast afflicted us; According to the years in which we have seen adversity!
16 Naj se tvoje delo pokaže tvojim služabnikom in tvoja slava njihovim otrokom.
Let thy deeds be known to thy servants, And thy glory to their children!
17 Nad nami pa naj bo lepota Gospoda, našega Boga. Utrdi delo naših rok nad nami; da, delo naših rok, utrdi ga.
Let the favor of the LORD our God be upon us, And establish for us the work of our hands; Yea, the work of our hands, establish thou it!
