< Psalms 90 >

1 A prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, You have been our dwelling place through all generations.
תְּפִלָּה לְמֹשֶׁה אִֽישׁ־הָאֱלֹהִים אֲֽדֹנָי מָעוֹן אַתָּה הָיִיתָ לָּנוּ בְּדֹר וָדֹֽר׃
2 Before the mountains were born or You brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting You are God.
בְּטֶרֶם ׀ הָרִים יֻלָּדוּ וַתְּחוֹלֵֽל אֶרֶץ וְתֵבֵל וּֽמֵעוֹלָם עַד־עוֹלָם אַתָּה אֵֽל׃
3 You return man to dust, saying, “Return, O sons of mortals.”
תָּשֵׁב אֱנוֹשׁ עַד־דַּכָּא וַתֹּאמֶר שׁוּבוּ בְנֵֽי־אָדָֽם׃
4 For in Your sight a thousand years are but a day that passes, or a watch of the night.
כִּי אֶלֶף שָׁנִים בְּֽעֵינֶיךָ כְּיוֹם אֶתְמוֹל כִּי יַֽעֲבֹר וְאַשְׁמוּרָה בַלָּֽיְלָה׃
5 You whisk them away in their sleep; they are like the new grass of the morning—
זְרַמְתָּם שֵׁנָה יִהְיוּ בַּבֹּקֶר כֶּחָצִיר יַחֲלֹֽף׃
6 in the morning it springs up new, but by evening it fades and withers.
בַּבֹּקֶר יָצִיץ וְחָלָף לָעֶרֶב יְמוֹלֵל וְיָבֵֽשׁ׃
7 For we are consumed by Your anger and terrified by Your wrath.
כִּֽי־כָלִינוּ בְאַפֶּךָ וּֽבַחֲמָתְךָ נִבְהָֽלְנוּ׃
8 You have set our iniquities before You, our secret sins in the light of Your presence.
שַׁתָּ עֲוֺנֹתֵינוּ לְנֶגְדֶּךָ עֲלֻמֵנוּ לִמְאוֹר פָּנֶֽיךָ׃
9 For all our days decline in Your fury; we finish our years with a sigh.
כִּי כׇל־יָמֵינוּ פָּנוּ בְעֶבְרָתֶךָ כִּלִּינוּ שָׁנֵינוּ כְמוֹ־הֶֽגֶה׃
10 The length of our days is seventy years— or eighty if we are strong— yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.
יְמֵֽי־שְׁנוֹתֵינוּ בָהֶם שִׁבְעִים שָׁנָה וְאִם בִּגְבוּרֹת ׀ שְׁמוֹנִים שָׁנָה וְרׇהְבָּם עָמָל וָאָוֶן כִּי־גָז חִישׁ וַנָּעֻֽפָה׃
11 Who knows the power of Your anger? Your wrath matches the fear You are due.
מִֽי־יוֹדֵעַ עֹז אַפֶּךָ וּכְיִרְאָתְךָ עֶבְרָתֶֽךָ׃
12 So teach us to number our days, that we may present a heart of wisdom.
לִמְנוֹת יָמֵינוּ כֵּן הוֹדַע וְנָבִא לְבַב חׇכְמָֽה׃
13 Return, O LORD! How long will it be? Have compassion on Your servants.
שׁוּבָה יְהֹוָה עַד־מָתָי וְהִנָּחֵם עַל־עֲבָדֶֽיךָ׃
14 Satisfy us in the morning with Your loving devotion, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
שַׂבְּעֵנוּ בַבֹּקֶר חַסְדֶּךָ וּֽנְרַנְּנָה וְנִשְׂמְחָה בְּכׇל־יָמֵֽינוּ׃
15 Make us glad for as many days as You have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen evil.
שַׂמְּחֵנוּ כִּימוֹת עִנִּיתָנוּ שְׁנוֹת רָאִינוּ רָעָֽה׃
16 May Your work be shown to Your servants, and Your splendor to their children.
יֵרָאֶה אֶל־עֲבָדֶיךָ פׇעֳלֶךָ וַהֲדָרְךָ עַל־בְּנֵיהֶֽם׃
17 May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish for us the work of our hands— yes, establish the work of our hands!
וִיהִי ׀ נֹעַם אֲדֹנָי אֱלֹהֵינוּ עָלֵינוּ וּמַעֲשֵׂה יָדֵינוּ כּוֹנְנָה עָלֵינוּ וּֽמַעֲשֵׂה יָדֵינוּ כּוֹנְנֵֽהוּ׃
