< Psalms 90 >

1 [A Prayer by Moses, the man of God.] Jehovah, you have been our dwelling place for all generations.
תְּפִלָּה לְמֹשֶׁה אִֽישׁ־הָאֱלֹהִים אֲֽדֹנָי מָעוֹן אַתָּה הָיִיתָ לָּנוּ בְּדֹר וָדֹֽר׃
2 Before the mountains were brought forth, before you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.
בְּטֶרֶם ׀ הָרִים יֻלָּדוּ וַתְּחוֹלֵֽל אֶרֶץ וְתֵבֵל וּֽמֵעוֹלָם עַד־עוֹלָם אַתָּה אֵֽל׃
3 You turn man to destruction, saying, "Return, you descendants of Adam."
תָּשֵׁב אֱנוֹשׁ עַד־דַּכָּא וַתֹּאמֶר שׁוּבוּ בְנֵֽי־אָדָֽם׃
4 For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past, like a watch in the night.
כִּי אֶלֶף שָׁנִים בְּֽעֵינֶיךָ כְּיוֹם אֶתְמוֹל כִּי יַֽעֲבֹר וְאַשְׁמוּרָה בַלָּֽיְלָה׃
5 You sweep them away as they sleep. In the morning they sprout like new grass.
זְרַמְתָּם שֵׁנָה יִהְיוּ בַּבֹּקֶר כֶּחָצִיר יַחֲלֹֽף׃
6 In the morning it sprouts and springs up. By evening, it is withered and dry.
בַּבֹּקֶר יָצִיץ וְחָלָף לָעֶרֶב יְמוֹלֵל וְיָבֵֽשׁ׃
7 For we are consumed in your anger. We are troubled in 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 have passed away in your wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh.
כִּי כׇל־יָמֵינוּ פָּנוּ בְעֶבְרָתֶךָ כִּלִּינוּ שָׁנֵינוּ כְמוֹ־הֶֽגֶה׃
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.
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 according to the fear that is due to you?
מִֽי־יוֹדֵעַ עֹז אַפֶּךָ וּכְיִרְאָתְךָ עֶבְרָתֶֽךָ׃
12 So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
לִמְנוֹת יָמֵינוּ כֵּן הוֹדַע וְנָבִא לְבַב חׇכְמָֽה׃
13 Relent, Jehovah. How long? Have compassion on your servants.
שׁוּבָה יְהֹוָה עַד־מָתָי וְהִנָּחֵם עַל־עֲבָדֶֽיךָ׃
14 Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, that we may rejoice 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 Let your work appear to your servants; your glory to their children.
יֵרָאֶה אֶל־עֲבָדֶיךָ פׇעֳלֶךָ וַהֲדָרְךָ עַל־בְּנֵיהֶֽם׃
17 Let the favor of Jehovah our God be on us; establish the work of our hands for us; yes, establish the work of our hands.
וִיהִי ׀ נֹעַם אֲדֹנָי אֱלֹהֵינוּ עָלֵינוּ וּמַעֲשֵׂה יָדֵינוּ כּוֹנְנָה עָלֵינוּ וּֽמַעֲשֵׂה יָדֵינוּ כּוֹנְנֵֽהוּ׃
