< Psalms 90 >

1 A Prayer by Moses, the man of God. Lord, you have been our dwelling place for all generations.
صَلاةٌ لِمُوسَى رَجُلِ اللهِ يَا رَبُّ أَنْتَ كُنْتَ مَلْجَأً لَنَا نَلُوذُ بِهِ جِيلاً بَعْدَ جِيلٍ.١
2 Before the mountains were born, before you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.
قَبْلَ أَنْ أَوْجَدْتَ الْجِبَالَ أَوْ كَوَّنْتَ الْمَسْكُونَةَ، أَنْتَ اللهُ مِنَ الأَزَلِ وَإِلَى الأَبَدِ.٢
3 You turn man to destruction, saying, “Return, you children of men.”
تُعِيدُ الإِنْسَانَ إِلَى التُّرَابِ قَائِلاً: عُودُوا إِلَيْهِ يَا بَنِي آدَمَ.٣
4 For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past, like a watch in the night.
فَإِنَّ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ كَيَوْمِ أَمْسِ الْعَابِرِ، أَوْ مِثْلُ هَزِيعٍ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ.٤
5 You sweep them away as they sleep. In the morning they sprout like new grass.
تَجْرُفُ الْبَشَرَ كَمَا يَجْرُفُهُمُ الطُّوفَانُ، فَيَزُولُونَ كَالْحُلْمِ عِنْدَ الصَّبَاحِ مِثْلَ الْعُشْبِ الَّذِي يَنْمُو.٥
6 In the morning it sprouts and springs up. By evening, it is withered and dry.
يُزْهِرُ فِي الصَّبَاحِ وَيَنْمُو، وَفِي الْمَسَاءِ يُقْطَعُ وَيَجِفُّ.٦
7 For we are consumed in your anger. We are troubled in your wrath.
إِنَّ غَضَبَكَ قَدْ أَفْنَانَا وَسَخَطَكَ قَدْ رَوَّعَنَا.٧
8 You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.
جَعَلْتَ آثَامَنَا أَمَامَكَ وَخَطَايَانَا الْخَفِيَّةَ ظَاهِرَةً لَدَيْكَ.٨
9 For all our days have passed away in your wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh.
لأَنَّ أَيَّامَنَا كُلَّهَا تَنْقَضِي فِي غَضَبِكَ الشَّدِيدِ، وَأَعْوَامَنَا تَتَلاشَى كَزَفْرَةٍ.٩
10 The 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.
قَدْ نَعِيشُ سَبْعِينَ سَنَةً، وَإِنْ كُنَّا ذَوِي عَافِيَةٍ فَثَمَانينَ وَأَفْضَلُ أَيَّامِنَا تَعَبٌ وَبَلِيَّةٌ، لأَنَّهَا سَرْعَانَ مَا تَزُولُ فَنَطِيرُ.١٠
11 Who knows the power of your anger, your wrath according to the fear that is due to you?
مَنْ يَعْرِفُ شِدَّةَ غَضَبِكَ؟ إِنَّ سَخَطَكَ هُوَ بِحَسَبِ مَهَابَتِكَ؟١١
12 So teach us to count our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
عَلِّمْنَا إِحْصَاءَ أَيَّامِنَا، لَعَلَّنَا نَتَعَقَّلُ بِقَلْبٍ حَكِيمٍ.١٢
13 Relent, LORD! How long? Have compassion on your servants!
إِلَى مَتَى يَطُولُ يَا رَبُّ غَضَبُكَ؟ ارْجِعْ وَتَعَطَّفْ عَلَى عَبِيدِكَ.١٣
14 Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
أَفِضْ عَلَيْنَا بَاكِراً مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ، فَنَتَرَنَّمَ فَرَحاً وَنَبْتَهِجَ طَوَالَ أَعْمَارِنَا.١٤
15 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen evil.
فَرِّحْنَا بِمِقْدَارِ الأَيَّامِ الَّتِي بَلَيْتَنَا بِها، وَبِمِقْدَارِ السِّنِينَ الَّتِي رَأَيْنَا فِيهَا الْمَصَائِبَ١٥
16 Let your work appear to your servants, your glory to their children.
لِيَظْهَرْ صَنِيعُكَ أَمَامَ عَبِيدِكَ وَجَلالُكَ أَمَامَ أَبْنَائِهِمْ.١٦
17 Let 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.
وَلْتَكُنْ نِعْمَةُ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا عَلَيْنَا. أَنْجِحْ عَمَلَ أَيْدِينَا، نَعَمْ أَنْجِحْ لَنَا عَمَلَ أَيْدِينَا.١٧
