< Psalms 90 >

1 A Prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, you have been our resting-place in all generations.
Doa Musa, abdi Allah. Tuhan, Engkaulah tempat perteduhan kami turun-temurun.
2 Before the mountains were made, before you had given birth to the earth and the world, before time was, and for ever, you are God.
Sebelum gunung-gunung dilahirkan, dan bumi dan dunia diperanakkan, bahkan dari selama-lamanya sampai selama-lamanya Engkaulah Allah.
3 You send man back to his dust; and say, Go back, you children of men.
Engkau mengembalikan manusia kepada debu, dan berkata: "Kembalilah, hai anak-anak manusia!"
4 For to you a thousand years are no more than yesterday when it is past, and like a watch in the night.
Sebab di mata-Mu seribu tahun sama seperti hari kemarin, apabila berlalu, atau seperti suatu giliran jaga di waktu malam.
5
Engkau menghanyutkan manusia; mereka seperti mimpi, seperti rumput yang bertumbuh,
6 In the morning it is green; in the evening it is cut down, and becomes dry.
di waktu pagi berkembang dan bertumbuh, di waktu petang lisut dan layu.
7 We are burned up by the heat of your passion, and troubled by your wrath.
Sungguh, kami habis lenyap karena murka-Mu, dan karena kehangatan amarah-Mu kami terkejut.
8 You have put our evil doings before you, our secret sins in the light of your face.
Engkau menaruh kesalahan kami di hadapan-Mu, dan dosa kami yang tersembunyi dalam cahaya wajah-Mu.
9 For all our days have gone by in your wrath; our years come to an end like a breath.
Sungguh, segala hari kami berlalu karena gemas-Mu, kami menghabiskan tahun-tahun kami seperti keluh.
10 The measure of our life is seventy years; and if through strength it may be eighty years, its pride is only trouble and sorrow, for it comes to an end and we are quickly gone.
Masa hidup kami tujuh puluh tahun dan jika kami kuat, delapan puluh tahun, dan kebanggaannya adalah kesukaran dan penderitaan; sebab berlalunya buru-buru, dan kami melayang lenyap.
11 Who has knowledge of the power of your wrath, or who takes note of the weight of your passion?
Siapakah yang mengenal kekuatan murka-Mu dan takut kepada gemas-Mu?
12 So give us knowledge of the number of our days, that we may get a heart of wisdom.
Ajarlah kami menghitung hari-hari kami sedemikian, hingga kami beroleh hati yang bijaksana.
13 Come back, O Lord; how long? let your purpose for your servants be changed.
Kembalilah, ya TUHAN--berapa lama lagi? --dan sayangilah hamba-hamba-Mu!
14 In the morning give us your mercy in full measure; so that we may have joy and delight all our days.
Kenyangkanlah kami di waktu pagi dengan kasih setia-Mu, supaya kami bersorak-sorai dan bersukacita semasa hari-hari kami.
15 Make us glad in reward for the days of our sorrow, and for the years in which we have seen evil.
Buatlah kami bersukacita seimbang dengan hari-hari Engkau menindas kami, seimbang dengan tahun-tahun kami mengalami celaka.
16 Make your work clear to your servants, and your glory to their children.
Biarlah kelihatan kepada hamba-hamba-Mu perbuatan-Mu, dan semarak-Mu kepada anak-anak mereka.
17 Let the pleasure of the Lord our God be on us: O Lord, give strength to the work of our hands.
Kiranya kemurahan Tuhan, Allah kami, atas kami, dan teguhkanlah perbuatan tangan kami, ya, perbuatan tangan kami, teguhkanlah itu.
