¹ Lord, The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.” you have been our dwelling place for all generations.

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

²Before the mountains were brought forth, before you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.

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

³You turn man to destruction, saying, “Return, you children of men.”

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

⁴For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past, like a watch in the night.

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

⁵You sweep them away as they sleep. In the morning they sprout like new grass.

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

⁶In the morning it sprouts and springs up. By evening, it is withered and dry.

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

⁷For we are consumed in your anger. We are troubled in your wrath.

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

⁸You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.

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

⁹For all our days have passed away in your wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh.

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

¹⁰The days of our years are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty years; yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for it passes quickly, and we fly away.

¹⁰Zbroj 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.

¹¹Who knows the power of your anger, your wrath according to the fear that is due to you?

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

¹²So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

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

¹³Relent, Yahweh! “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all caps) in other translations. How long? Have compassion on your servants!

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

¹⁴Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

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

¹⁵Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen evil.

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

¹⁶Let your work appear to your servants; your glory to their children.

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

¹⁷Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us; establish the work of our hands for us; yes, establish the work of our hands.

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