اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 90

١ 1 صَلَاةٌ لِمُوسَى رَجُلِ ٱللهِ يَارَبُّ، مَلْجَأً كُنْتَ لَنَا فِي دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ.

A Prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.

٢ 2 مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تُولَدَ ٱلْجِبَالُ، أَوْ أَبْدَأْتَ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَٱلْمَسْكُونَةَ، مُنْذُ ٱلْأَزَلِ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ أَنْتَ ٱللهُ.

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

٣ 3 تُرْجِعُ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ إِلَى ٱلْغُبَارِ وَتَقُولُ: «ٱرْجِعُوا يَا بَنِي آدَمَ».

Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.

٤ 4 لِأَنَّ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ مِثْلُ يَوْمِ أَمْسِ بَعْدَ مَا عَبَرَ، وَكَهَزِيعٍ مِنَ ٱللَّيْلِ.

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

٥ 5 جَرَفْتَهُمْ. كَسِنَةٍ يَكُونُونَ. بِٱلْغَدَاةِ كَعُشْبٍ يَزُولُ.

Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

٦ 6 بِٱلْغَدَاةِ يُزْهِرُ فَيَزُولُ. عِنْدَ ٱلْمَسَاءِ يُجَزُّ فَيَيْبَسُ.

In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.

٧ 7 لِأَنَّنَا قَدْ فَنِينَا بِسَخَطِكَ وَبِغَضَبِكَ ٱرْتَعَبْنَا.

For we are consumed in thine anger, and in thy wrath are we troubled.

٨ 8 قَدْ جَعَلْتَ آثَامَنَا أَمَامَكَ، خَفِيَّاتِنَا فِي ضَوْءِ وَجْهِكَ.

Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.

٩ 9 لِأَنَّ كُلَّ أَيَّامِنَا قَدِ ٱنْقَضَتْ بِرِجْزِكَ. أَفْنَيْنَا سِنِينَا كَقِصَّةٍ.

For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we bring our years to an end as a tale [that is told].

١٠ 10 أَيَّامُ سِنِينَا هِيَ سَبْعُونَ سَنَةً، وَإِنْ كَانَتْ مَعَ ٱلْقُوَّةِ فَثَمَانُونَ سَنَةً، وَأَفْخَرُهَا تَعَبٌ وَبَلِيَّةٌ، لِأَنَّهَا تُقْرَضُ سَرِيعًا فَنَطِيرُ.

The days of our years are threescore years and ten, or even by reason of strength fourscore years; yet is their pride but labour and sorrow; for it is soon gone, and we fly away.

١١ 11 مَنْ يَعْرِفُ قُوَّةَ غَضَبَكَ؟ وَكَخَوْفِكَ سَخَطُكَ.

Who knoweth the power of thine anger, and thy wrath according to the fear that is due unto thee?

١٢ 12 إِحْصَاءَ أَيَّامِنَا هَكَذَا عَلِّمْنَا فَنُؤْتَى قَلْبَ حِكْمَةٍ.

So teach us to number our days, that we may get us an heart of wisdom.

١٣ 13 اِرْجِعْ يَارَبُّ، حَتَّى مَتَى؟ وَتَرَأَّفْ عَلَى عَبِيدِكَ.

Return, O LORD; how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.

١٤ 14 أَشْبِعْنَا بِٱلْغَدَاةِ مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ، فَنَبْتَهِجَ وَنَفْرَحَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِنَا.

O satisfy us in the morning with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

١٥ 15 فَرِّحْنَا كَٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلَّتِي فِيهَا أَذْلَلْتَنَا، كَٱلسِّنِينِ ٱلَّتِي رَأَيْنَا فِيهَا شَرًّا.

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

١٦ 16 لِيَظْهَرْ فِعْلُكَ لِعَبِيدِكَ، وَجَلَالُكَ لِبَنِيهِمْ.

Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory upon their children.

١٧ 17 وَلْتَكُنْ نِعْمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا عَلَيْنَا، وَعَمَلَ أَيْدِينَا ثَبِّتْ عَلَيْنَا، وَعَمَلَ أَيْدِينَا ثَبِّتْهُ.

And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
