< Psalmi 90 >
1 Molitev Mojzesova, moža Božjega: O Gospod, ti si nam bil prebivališče od roda do roda,
BOOK IV A Prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling-place in all generations.
2 Ko niso bile še rojene gore, in nisi bil naredil zemlje in vesoljnega sveta, dà od vekomaj do vekomaj Bog si tí mogočni.
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 Pripraviš človeka tako daleč, da je potrt, govoreč: "Povrnite se, sinovi človeški!"
Thou turnest man to contrition; and sayest: 'Return, ye children of men.'
4 Ker če tisoč lét preide, v tvojih očéh so, kakor včerajšnji dan, in straža nočna.
For a thousand years in Thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
5 S povodnjo jih pokončaš, spanje so, zjutraj so kakor seno, ki mine.
Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep; in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.
6 Zjutraj, ko se je razcvelo, mine; pokosi in posuši se zvečer.
In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.
7 Ker ginemo od jeze tvoje, in srd tvoj nas plaši:
For we are consumed in Thine anger, and by Thy wrath are we hurried away.
8 Pred oči si staviš krivice naše, skrivnosti naše v luč svojega obličja.
Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, our secret sins in the light of Thy countenance.
9 Ker vsi dnevi naši ginejo v srdu tvojem; leta naša nam tekó misli enaka.
For all our days are passed away in Thy wrath; we bring our years to an end as a tale that is told.
10 V samih dnevih lét naših je sedemdeset let; ali (ako smo prav krepki) osemdeset let; celo kar je v njih najboljše, polno je truda in težav; ko to hitro mine, odletimo.
The days of our years are threescore years and ten, or even by reason of strength fourscore years; yet is their pride but travail and vanity; for it is speedily gone, and we fly away.
11 Kdo spozna jeze tvoje moč, ali srdú tvojega po strahu tvojem?
Who knoweth the power of Thine anger, and Thy wrath according to the fear that is due unto Thee?
12 Šteti nas úči naše dni tako, da dobimo srce modro.
So teach us to number our days, that we may get us a heart of wisdom.
13 Vrni se, Gospod! Doklej! in kesaj se zavoljo hlapcev svojih.
Return, O LORD; how long? And let it repent Thee concerning Thy servants.
14 Nasiti nas vsako jutro z milostjo svojo, da pojemo in se radujemo vse svoje dni.
O satisfy us in the morning with Thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
15 Razveséli nas, kakor si nas ponižaval mnogo dnî; mnogo let smo izkušali húdo.
Make us glad according to the days wherein Thou hast afflicted us, according to the years wherein we have seen evil.
16 Očitno bodi hlapcem tvojim delo tvoje, in lepota tvoja med njih sinovi.
Let Thy work appear unto Thy servants, and Thy glory upon their children.
17 Na strani nam bodi prijetnost Gospoda, Boga našega, in delo naših rok podpiraj v nas; sámo delo, pravim, naših rok podpiraj.
And let the graciousness of the Lord our God be upon us; establish Thou also upon us the work of our hands; yea, the work of our hands establish Thou it.
