Psalms 90
1 [A Prayer by Moses, the man of God.] LORD, you have been our dwelling place for all generations.
天主的人梅瑟的祈禱。吾主，從永遠到永遠，您就作我們的靠山。
2 Before the mountains were brought forth, before you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.
群山尚未形成，大地尚未生出，從永遠直到永遠，您已經是天主。
3 You turn man to destruction, saying, "Return, you descendants of Adam."
您命令世人歸於灰塵，說：歸來，亞當的子孫們！
4 For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past, like a watch in the night.
因為千年在您的眼前，好像是剛過去的昨天，好像夜裏的一更時間。
5 You sweep them away as they sleep. In the morning they sprout like new grass.
您消滅他們，使他們有如清晨一覺，使他們有如剛出生的嫩苗青草，
6 In the morning it sprouts and springs up. By evening, it is withered and dry.
早晨雖然旺盛繁茂，傍晚就已凋謝枯槁。
7 For we are consumed in your anger. We are troubled in your wrath.
這樣，我們因了您的怒火，而消耗殆盡，我們我們因了您的怒忿，而昏厥不振。
8 You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.
您把我們的罪惡全在您的面前擺出，在您儀容的光輝前，我們的隱惡全露。
9 For all our days have passed away in your wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh.
我們的日月，都在您義怒中消逝，我們的年歲，也不過像一聲嘆息。
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.
我們的壽數，不外七十春秋，若是強壯，也不過八十寒暑；但多半還是充滿勞苦與空虛，因轉眼即逝，我們也如飛而去。
11 Who knows the power of your anger, your wrath according to the fear that is due to you?
誰能體會您怒憤的威力，誰能覺察您怒火的可畏？
12 So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
求您教導我們詳數年歲，使我們達到內心的智慧。
13 Relent, LORD. How long? Have compassion on your servants.
上主，求您歸來，尚待何時？求您快來憐恤您的僕役！
14 Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
使我們清晨就飽享您的慈愛，讓我們能歡欣鼓舞天天愉快！
15 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen evil.
您磨難我們，使我們受苦多少日子，求您也使我們多少年月時日歡喜。
16 Let your work appear to your servants; your glory to their children.
求使您的僕人得見您的化工，給他們的子孫彰顯您的尊榮。
17 Let the favor of the LORD our God be on us; establish the work of our hands for us; yes, establish the work of our hands.
願上主我們的天主給我們廣施仁風，促使我們所做的工作順利成功，促使我們所做的工作順利成功。
