Psalms 90
1 Àdúrà Mose ènìyàn Ọlọ́run. Olúwa, ìwọ ti jẹ́ ibùgbé wa ní gbogbo ìran dé ìran.
A prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, thou hast been our refuge from generation to generation.
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 made, or the earth and the world was formed; from eternity and to eternity thou art God.
3 Ìwọ yí ènìyàn padà sí erùpẹ̀, wí pé, “Padà sí erùpẹ̀, ìwọ ọmọ ènìyàn.”
Turn not man away to be brought low: and thou hast said: Be converted, O 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 as yesterday, which is past. And as a watch in the night,
5 Ìwọ gbá ènìyàn dànù nínú oorun ikú; wọ́n dàbí koríko tuntun ní òwúrọ̀.
Things that are counted nothing, shall their years be.
6 Lóòtítọ́, ní òwúrọ̀, ó yọ tuntun ní àṣálẹ́ ni yóò gbẹ, tí yóò sì rẹ̀ dànù.
In the morning man shall grow up like grass; in the morning he shall flourish and pass away: in the evening he shall fall, grow dry, and wither.
7 A pa wá run nípa ìbínú rẹ nípa ìbínú rẹ ara kò rọ̀ wá.
For in thy wrath we have fainted away: and are troubled in thy indignation.
8 Ìwọ ti gbé ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wa ka iwájú rẹ, àti ohun ìkọ̀kọ̀ wa nínú ìmọ́lẹ̀ iwájú rẹ.
Thou hast set our iniquities before thy eyes: our life 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 spent; and in thy wrath we have fainted away. Our years shall be considered as a spider:
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 in them are threescore and ten years. But if in the strong they be fourscore years: and what is more of them is labour and sorrow. For mildness is come upon us: and we shall be corrected.
11 Ta ni ó mọ agbára ìbínú rẹ? Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀rù rẹ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìbínú rẹ.
Who knoweth the power of thy anger, and for thy fear
12 Kọ́ wa bí a ti ń kaye ọjọ́ wa dáradára, kí àwa ba à lè fi ọkàn wa sípa ọgbọ́n.
Can number thy wrath? So make thy right hand known: and men learned in heart, in wisdom.
13 Yípadà, Olúwa! Yóò ti pẹ́ tó? Ṣàánú fún àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ.
Return, O Lord, how long? and be entreated in favour of 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.
We are filled in the morning with thy mercy: and we have rejoiced, and are delighted all our days.
15 Mú inú wa dùn bí ọjọ́ tí ìwọ ti pọ́n wa lójú, fún ọjọ́ púpọ̀ tí àwa ti rí wàhálà.
We have rejoiced for the days in which thou hast humbled us: for the years in which we have seen evils.
16 Jẹ́ kí a fi iṣẹ́ rẹ̀ han àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀, ògo rẹ̀ sí àwọn ọmọ wọn.
Look upon thy servants and upon their works: and direct their children.
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 brightness of the Lord our God be upon us: and direct thou the works of our hands over us; yea, the work of our hands do thou direct.
