< Psalms 90 >

1 A prayer of Moses [the] man of God O Lord a dwelling place you you have been of us in a generation and a generation.
BOOK FOURTH: “A prayer of Moses the man of God.” Lord, a place of refuge hast thou been unto us in all generations.
2 Before - mountains they were born and you brought forth [the] earth and [the] world and from antiquity until perpetuity you [are] God.
Before yet the mountains were brought forth, or thou hadst ever produced the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
3 You return humankind to crushed matter and you said return O children of humankind.
Thou turnest man to contrition, and sayest, Return ye children of men.
4 For a thousand years in view your [are] like a day of yesterday that it passes and a watch in the night.
For a thousand years are in thy eyes but as the yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
5 You flood them sleep they are in the morning like grass [which] it sprouts up.
Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning [they grow] like the grass which changeth.
6 In the morning it flourishes and it sprouts up to the evening it withers and it dries up.
In the morning it blossometh, and is changed: in the evening it is mowed off, and withereth.
7 For we come to an end in anger your and by rage your we are terrified.
For [thus] are we consumed by thy anger, and by thy fury are we terrified.
8 (You set *Q(k)*) iniquities our to before you concealed [sins] our to [the] light of face your.
Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our concealed sins before the light of thy countenance.
9 For all days our they turn in fury your we finish years our like a sigh.
For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we consume our years like a word that is spoken.
10 [the] days of Years our in them [are] seventy year[s] and if by strength - eighty year[s] and pride their [is] toil and trouble for it passes away quickly and we flew away!
The days of our years in this life are seventy years; and if by uncommon vigor they be eighty, yet is their greatness trouble and mishap; for it soon hasteneth off, and we fly away.
11 Who? [is] knowing [the] strength of anger your and [is] like fear your fury your.
Who knoweth the strength of thy anger, and thy wrath which is like the fear of thee?
12 To count days our thus teach [us] so we may bring a heart of wisdom.
Let us then know how to number our days, that we may obtain a heart endowed with wisdom.
13 Return! O Yahweh until when? and have compassion on servants your.
Return, O Lord, how long yet? and bethink thee concerning thy servants.
14 Satisfy us in the morning covenant loyalty your so let us shout for joy and let us rejoice in all days our.
O satisfy us in the morning with thy kindness, that we may be glad and rejoice throughout all our days.
15 Make rejoice us according to [the] days [which] you afflicted us [the] years [which] we saw trouble.
Cause us to rejoice as many days as those wherein thou hast afflicted us, the years wherein we have seen unhappiness.
16 May it appear to servants your deed[s] your and majesty your to children their.
Let thy act be visible on thy servants, and thy majesty over their children.
17 And let it be - [the] kindness of [the] Lord God our towards us and [the] work of hands our establish! on us and [the] work of hands our establish it.
And may the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us; and the work of our hands do thou firmly establish upon us: yea, the work of our hands—firmly establish thou it.
