Psalmi 90

1 Molitva. Mojsija, sluge Božjega. Jahve, ti nam bijaše okrilje od koljena do koljena.

Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations.

2 Prije nego se rodiše bregovi, prije nego postade kopno i krug zemaljski, od vijeka do vijeka, Bože, ti jesi!

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.

3 Smrtnike u prah vraćaš i veliš: “Vratite se, sinovi ljudski!”

You turn man to destruction; and say, Return, you children of men.

4 Jer je tisuću godina u očima tvojim k'o jučerašnji dan koji je minuo i kao straža noćna.

For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

5 Razgoniš ih k'o jutarnji san, kao trava su što se zeleni:

You carry them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which grows up.

6 jutrom cvate i sva se zeleni, a uvečer - već se suši i vene.

In the morning it flourishes, and grows up; in the evening it is cut down, and wither.

7 Zaista, izjeda nas tvoja srdžba i zbunjuje ljutina tvoja.

For we are consumed by your anger, and by your wrath are we troubled.

8 Naše si grijehe stavio pred svoje oči, naše potajne grijehe na svjetlost lica svojega.

You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your countenance.

9 Jer svi naši dani prođoše u gnjevu tvojemu, kao uzdah dovršismo godine svoje.

For all our days are passed away in your wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.

10 Zbroj naše dobi sedamdeset je godina, ako smo snažni, i osamdeset; a većina od njih muka je i ništavost: jer prolaze brzo i mi letimo odavle.

The days of our years are three score years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

11 Tko će mjeriti žestinu gnjeva tvojega, tko proniknuti srdžbu tvoju?

Who knows the power of your anger? even according to your fear, so is your wrath.

12 Nauči nas dane naše brojiti, da steknemo mudro srce.

So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts to wisdom.

13 Vrati se k nama, Jahve! TÓa dokle ćeš? Milostiv budi slugama svojim!

Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent you concerning your servants.

14 Jutrom nas nasiti smilovanjem svojim, da kličemo i da se veselimo u sve dane!

O satisfy us early with your mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

15 Obraduj nas za dane kad si nas šibao, za ljeta kad smo stradali!

Make us glad according to the days wherein you have afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.

16 Neka se na slugama tvojim pokaže djelo tvoje i tvoja slava na djeci njihovoj!

Let your work appear to your servants, and your glory to their children.

17 Dobrota Jahve, Boga našega, nek' bude nad nama daj da nam uspije djelo naših ruku, djelo ruku naših nek' uspije.

And let the beauty of the LORD our God be on us: and establish you the work of our hands on us; yes, the work of our hands establish you it.
