Psalmi 90
1 Molitva. Mojsija, sluge Božjega. Jahve, ti nam bijaše okrilje od koljena do koljena.
A prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, you have been a home to us one generation after another.
2 Prije nego se rodiše bregovi, prije nego postade kopno i krug zemaljski, od vijeka do vijeka, Bože, ti jesi!
Before the mountains were born, or the earth and the world were brought forth, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
3 Smrtnike u prah vraćaš i veliš: “Vratite se, sinovi ljudski!”
You bring us back to the dust, you summon mortals to return.
4 Jer je tisuću godina u očima tvojim k'o jučerašnji dan koji je minuo i kao straža noćna.
For you see a thousand years as the passing of yesterday, as a watch in the night.
5 Razgoniš ih k'o jutarnji san, kao trava su što se zeleni:
Your floods sweep them away; they are like a dream, or like grass which sprouts in the morning,
6 jutrom cvate i sva se zeleni, a uvečer - već se suši i vene.
which blossoms and sprouts in the morning, but by evening is cut and withered.
7 Zaista, izjeda nas tvoja srdžba i zbunjuje ljutina tvoja.
For your anger consumes us, the heat of your wrath confounds us.
8 Naše si grijehe stavio pred svoje oči, naše potajne grijehe na svjetlost lica svojega.
Our sins you have set before you, our secrets in the light of your face.
9 Jer svi naši dani prođoše u gnjevu tvojemu, kao uzdah dovršismo godine svoje.
For through your wrath our days are declining, we bring our years to an end as a sigh.
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 span of our life is seventy years, or, if we are strong, maybe eighty; yet is their breadth but empty toil, for swiftly they go, and we fly away.
11 Tko će mjeriti žestinu gnjeva tvojega, tko proniknuti srdžbu tvoju?
Who lays to heart the power of your anger? Or who stands in reverent awe of your wrath?
12 Nauči nas dane naše brojiti, da steknemo mudro srce.
O teach us to count our days so our minds may learn wisdom.
13 Vrati se k nama, Jahve! TÓa dokle ćeš? Milostiv budi slugama svojim!
Return, O Lord; why so long? Relent on your servants.
14 Jutrom nas nasiti smilovanjem svojim, da kličemo i da se veselimo u sve dane!
Grant us your love to the full in the morning, that all our days we may shout for joy.
15 Obraduj nas za dane kad si nas šibao, za ljeta kad smo stradali!
Make us glad for the days you have humbled us, for the evil years we have seen.
16 Neka se na slugama tvojim pokaže djelo tvoje i tvoja slava na djeci njihovoj!
Let your servants see you in action, show your majesty to their children.
17 Dobrota Jahve, Boga našega, nek' bude nad nama daj da nam uspije djelo naših ruku, djelo ruku naših nek' uspije.
Let the grace of the Lord our God be upon us, uphold what our hands are striving to do.
