< Psalms 90 >

1 Àdúrà Mose ènìyàn Ọlọ́run. Olúwa, ìwọ ti jẹ́ ibùgbé wa ní gbogbo ìran dé ìran.
Lord, thou have been our dwelling-place in all generations.
2 Kí a tó bí àwọn òkè ńlá àti kí ìwọ tó dá ilẹ̀ àti ayé, láti ayérayé dé ayérayé ìwọ ni Ọlọ́run.
Before the mountains were brought forth, or thou had ever formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou are God.
3 Ìwọ yí ènìyàn padà sí erùpẹ̀, wí pé, “Padà sí erùpẹ̀, ìwọ ọmọ ènìyàn.”
Thou turn man to destruction, and say, Return, ye sons of men.
4 Nítorí pé ìgbà tí ẹgbẹ̀rún ọdún bá kọjá lójú rẹ, bí àná ni ó rí, bí ìgbà ìṣọ́ kan lóru.
For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
5 Ìwọ gbá ènìyàn dànù nínú oorun ikú; wọ́n dàbí koríko tuntun ní òwúrọ̀.
Thou carry them away as with a flood. They are as a sleep. In the morning they are like grass which grows up.
6 Lóòtítọ́, ní òwúrọ̀, ó yọ tuntun ní àṣálẹ́ ni yóò gbẹ, tí yóò sì rẹ̀ dànù.
In the morning it flourishes, and grows up. In the evening it is cut down, and withers.
7 A pa wá run nípa ìbínú rẹ nípa ìbínú rẹ ara kò rọ̀ wá.
For we are consumed in thine anger, and in thy wrath are we troubled.
8 Ìwọ ti gbé ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wa ka iwájú rẹ, àti ohun ìkọ̀kọ̀ wa nínú ìmọ́lẹ̀ iwájú rẹ.
Thou have set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
9 Gbogbo ọjọ́ wa ń kọjá lọ lábẹ́ ìbínú rẹ; àwa ń lo ọjọ́ wa lọ bí àlá tí à ń rọ́.
For all our days are passed away in thy wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh.
10 Àádọ́rin ọdún ni iye ọjọ́ ọdún wá, bi ó sì ṣe pé nípa agbára tí wọn bá tó ọgọ́rin ọdún, agbára nínú làálàá pẹ̀lú ìbànújẹ́ ni, nítorí pé a kò ní pẹ́ gé e kúrò, àwa a sì fò lọ.
The days of our years are threescore years and ten, or even by reason of strength fourscore years, yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for it is soon gone, and we fly away.
11 Ta ni ó mọ agbára ìbínú rẹ? Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀rù rẹ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìbínú rẹ.
Who knows the power of thine anger, and thy wrath according to the fear that is due to thee?
12 Kọ́ wa bí a ti ń kaye ọjọ́ wa dáradára, kí àwa ba à lè fi ọkàn wa sípa ọgbọ́n.
So teach us to number our days, that we may get us a heart of wisdom.
13 Yípadà, Olúwa! Yóò ti pẹ́ tó? Ṣàánú fún àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ.
Return, O Jehovah. How long? And relent concerning thy servants.
14 Tẹ́ wa lọ́rùn ní òwúrọ̀ nínú ìṣeun ìfẹ́ rẹ, kí àwa kí ó lè kọrin fún ayọ̀ kí inú wa sì dùn ní gbogbo ọjọ́.
O satisfy us in the morning with thy loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
15 Mú inú wa dùn bí ọjọ́ tí ìwọ ti pọ́n wa lójú, fún ọjọ́ púpọ̀ tí àwa ti rí wàhálà.
Make us glad according to the days in which thou have afflicted us, and the years in which we have seen evil.
16 Jẹ́ kí a fi iṣẹ́ rẹ̀ han àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀, ògo rẹ̀ sí àwọn ọmọ wọn.
Let thy work appear to thy servants, and thy glory upon their sons.
17 Jẹ́ kí ẹwà Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa wà lára wa; fi ìdí iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ wa múlẹ̀ lára wa, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, kí ó sì fi ìdí iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ wa múlẹ̀.
And let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us. And establish thou the work of our hands upon us, yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
