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

¹{Molitev Mojzesa, moža Božjega.} O Gospod, ti si nam bil prebivališče od roda do roda.

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

²Ko niso bile še rojene gore in nisi bil naredil zemlje in vesoljnega sveta, da, od vekomaj do vekomaj si ti Bog mogočni.

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

³Pripraviš človeka, da razpade v prah, in veliš: Povrnite se, otroci človeški!

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

⁴Zakaj tisoč let je v tvojih očeh kakor včerajšnji dan, ko je minil, in kakor čas ponočne straže.

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

⁵Kakor s povodnijo jih pokončavaš, kot spanje so; zjutraj so kakor trava, ki vnovič poganja.

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

⁶Zjutraj cvete in poganja, zvečer jo pokose in usahne.

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

⁷Kajti ginemo od jeze tvoje in vsled srda tvojega smo preplašeni.

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

⁸Pred oči svoje si postavil krivice naše, skrivnosti naše v luč obličja svojega.

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

⁹Kajti vsi dnevi naši minevajo v srdu tvojem, leta nam prelete kot misel.

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.

¹⁰Dnevi naših let – vseh jih je sedemdeset let ali, ako smo prav krepki, osemdeset let; in kar je naš ponos v njih, je le trud in težava; zakaj hitro vse poteče in mi odletimo.

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

¹¹A kdo spoznava jeze tvoje moč in tvoj srd, boječ se te, kakor se spodobi?

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

¹²Uči nas torej prav šteti naše dni, da si pridobimo srce modro.

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

¹³Vrni se, GOSPOD! doklej –? in žal ti bodi za hlapce svoje!

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

¹⁴Nasiti nas že ob jutranjem svitu z milostjo svojo, da veselo pojemo in se radujemo vse svoje dni.

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

¹⁵Razveseli nas po številu dni, v katerih si nas ponižaval, in let, v katerih smo izkušali hudo.

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

¹⁶Očitno bodi hlapcem tvojim delo tvoje in veličastvo tvoje nad njih otroki!Nad nami pa bodi ljubeznivost Gospoda, Boga našega, in delo naših rok podpiraj pri nas, delo, pravim, naših rok podpiraj!

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.

¹⁷Nad nami pa bodi ljubeznivost Gospoda, Boga našega, in delo naših rok podpiraj pri nas, delo, pravim, naših rok podpiraj!
