Psalms 90

1 O LORD, na you don always be our home.

2 Before you create the hill or bring the world to life, you don be everlasting God, and you go be God forever.

3 You tell us say make we return to wetin we be before; you con change us back to dust.

4 A thousand years be like one day to you; dem be like yesterday, wey don go already. Like short hour for night

5 You carry us away like flood: we no dey last long pass dream. We be like weed wey dey grow for morning,

6 Wey dey grow and burst to flower, then dry up and die later for evening.

7 Your anger don destroy us; we dey shake with fear because of your terrible anger.

8 You put our sin for your front, our secret sin for where you fit see am.

9 Your anger don cut our life short; e dey fade away like whisper.

10 Seventy years na all wey we get - eighty years, if we dey strong; still all wey dem dey bring na trouble and sorrow; life go soon end, and we don go be that.

11 Who don feel the full power of your anger? Who know the kind fear wey your terrible anger fit bring?

12 Teach us how short our life be, so that we go fit dey wise.

13 How much long your anger go last? Have pity on your servant, O LORD

14 Fill us every morning with your love, so we go dey happy all our life.

15 Now, Give us plenty happiness reach the sadness wey you give us during the years wey we dey suffer.

16 Make you allow us wey be your servant see your mighty work; make our descendant see your glorious might.

17 Lord our God, make your blessing dey with us. Give us success in everything wey we do!
