Psalms 90
1 A prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, through every generation, you have been “home” for us!
Doa Musa, abdi Allah. Tuhan, Engkaulah tempat perteduhan kami turun-temurun.
2 Before the mountains were born, before you gave birth to the earth and the universe, from eternity past to eternity future, you are God.
Sebelum gunung-gunung dilahirkan, dan bumi dan dunia diperanakkan, bahkan dari selama-lamanya sampai selama-lamanya Engkaulah Allah.
3 You turn people back into dust, saying, “Return to dust, human beings.”
Engkau mengembalikan manusia kepada debu, dan berkata: "Kembalilah, hai anak-anak manusia!"
4 In your eyes, a thousand years are like a day that's already gone; like a few passing hours of the night.
Sebab di mata-Mu seribu tahun sama seperti hari kemarin, apabila berlalu, atau seperti suatu giliran jaga di waktu malam.
5 You bring people's lives to a sudden end, like dreams that vanish. They are like grass that grows up in the morning—
Engkau menghanyutkan manusia; mereka seperti mimpi, seperti rumput yang bertumbuh,
6 it sprouts in the morning, fresh and new, but by the evening it is withered and dead.
di waktu pagi berkembang dan bertumbuh, di waktu petang lisut dan layu.
7 We are burned up by your anger, terrified by your fury.
Sungguh, kami habis lenyap karena murka-Mu, dan karena kehangatan amarah-Mu kami terkejut.
8 You have set out our sins before you—our secret sins are visible in the light of your presence.
Engkau menaruh kesalahan kami di hadapan-Mu, dan dosa kami yang tersembunyi dalam cahaya wajah-Mu.
9 Our lives fade away under your anger, coming to an end as quickly as a sigh.
Sungguh, segala hari kami berlalu karena gemas-Mu, kami menghabiskan tahun-tahun kami seperti keluh.
10 We live for seventy years—eighty if we have the strength. But even in the prime of life all that we have is hardship and suffering. Soon our lives are over and we're 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 can know the power of your anger? Who understands your fury so you can be shown reverence?
Siapakah yang mengenal kekuatan murka-Mu dan takut kepada gemas-Mu?
12 Teach us to value every one of our days so we can live wisely!
Ajarlah kami menghitung hari-hari kami sedemikian, hingga kami beroleh hati yang bijaksana.
13 Lord, how long will it be before you come back to us and have pity on us your servants?
Kembalilah, ya TUHAN--berapa lama lagi? --dan sayangilah hamba-hamba-Mu!
14 Show us every morning your trustworthy love so we may be happy, full of joy throughout our lives.
Kenyangkanlah kami di waktu pagi dengan kasih setia-Mu, supaya kami bersorak-sorai dan bersukacita semasa hari-hari kami.
15 Make us glad for as many days as you made us sad, for all the years we suffered!
Buatlah kami bersukacita seimbang dengan hari-hari Engkau menindas kami, seimbang dengan tahun-tahun kami mengalami celaka.
16 May we, your servants, see you at work for us again; may our children see your glory.
Biarlah kelihatan kepada hamba-hamba-Mu perbuatan-Mu, dan semarak-Mu kepada anak-anak mereka.
17 May our Lord God be pleased with us, blessing what we do, blessing what we do.
Kiranya kemurahan Tuhan, Allah kami, atas kami, dan teguhkanlah perbuatan tangan kami, ya, perbuatan tangan kami, teguhkanlah itu.
