Psalms 90
1 A Prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place in all generations.
Doa Musa, abdi Allah. Tuhan, Engkaulah tempat perteduhan kami turun-temurun.
2 Before the mountains were brought forth, and thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from eternity to eternity thou art God.
Sebelum gunung-gunung dilahirkan, dan bumi dan dunia diperanakkan, bahkan dari selama-lamanya sampai selama-lamanya Engkaulah Allah.
3 Thou makest [mortal] man to return to dust, and sayest, Return, children of men.
Engkau mengembalikan manusia kepada debu, dan berkata: "Kembalilah, hai anak-anak manusia!"
4 For a thousand years, in thy sight, are as yesterday when it is past, and [as] 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 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are [as] a sleep: in the morning they are like grass [that] groweth up:
Engkau menghanyutkan manusia; mereka seperti mimpi, seperti rumput yang bertumbuh,
6 In the morning it flourisheth and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down and withereth.
di waktu pagi berkembang dan bertumbuh, di waktu petang lisut dan layu.
7 For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy fury are we troubled.
Sungguh, kami habis lenyap karena murka-Mu, dan karena kehangatan amarah-Mu kami terkejut.
8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret [sins] in the light of thy countenance.
Engkau menaruh kesalahan kami di hadapan-Mu, dan dosa kami yang tersembunyi dalam cahaya wajah-Mu.
9 For all our days pass away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a [passing] thought.
Sungguh, segala hari kami berlalu karena gemas-Mu, kami menghabiskan tahun-tahun kami seperti keluh.
10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if, by reason of strength, they be fourscore years, yet their pride is labour and vanity, for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
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 knoweth the power of thine anger? and thy wrath according to the fear of thee?
Siapakah yang mengenal kekuatan murka-Mu dan takut kepada gemas-Mu?
12 So teach [us] to number our days, that we may acquire a wise heart.
Ajarlah kami menghitung hari-hari kami sedemikian, hingga kami beroleh hati yang bijaksana.
13 Return, Jehovah: how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.
Kembalilah, ya TUHAN--berapa lama lagi? --dan sayangilah hamba-hamba-Mu!
14 Satisfy us early with thy loving-kindness; that we may sing for joy and be glad 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 according to the days [wherein] thou hast afflicted us, according to the years [wherein] we have seen evil.
Buatlah kami bersukacita seimbang dengan hari-hari Engkau menindas kami, seimbang dengan tahun-tahun kami mengalami celaka.
16 Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy majesty unto their sons.
Biarlah kelihatan kepada hamba-hamba-Mu perbuatan-Mu, dan semarak-Mu kepada anak-anak mereka.
17 And let the beauty of Jehovah our God be upon us; and establish thou the work of our hands upon us: yea, the work of our hands, establish thou it.
Kiranya kemurahan Tuhan, Allah kami, atas kami, dan teguhkanlah perbuatan tangan kami, ya, perbuatan tangan kami, teguhkanlah itu.
