< Psalms 90 >
1 Lord, you have always (been [like] a home for us/protected us) [MET].
神人摩西的祈祷。 主啊,你世世代代作我们的居所。
2 Before you created the mountains, before you formed the earth and everything that is in it, you were eternally God, and you will be God forever.
诸山未曾生出, 地与世界你未曾造成, 从亘古到永远,你是 神。
3 [When people die], you cause their corpses to become soil again; you change their corpses to become dirt like [the first man] was created from.
你使人归于尘土,说: 你们世人要归回。
4 When you (consider/think about) time, 1,000 years are [as short as] [SIM] one day which passes; [you consider that] [HYP] they are as short as a few hours in the night.
在你看来,千年如已过的昨日, 又如夜间的一更。
5 You cause people suddenly to die [MET]; they [live only a short time], like a dream lasts only a short time. They are like grass/weeds [SIM] that grow up.
你叫他们如水冲去; 他们如睡一觉。 早晨,他们如生长的草,
6 In the morning [DOU] the grass sprouts and grows well, but in the evening it dries up and (completely withers/dies).
早晨发芽生长, 晚上割下枯干。
7 [Similarly], [because of the sins that we have committed], you become angry with us; you terrify us and then you destroy us.
我们因你的怒气而消灭, 因你的忿怒而惊惶。
8 [It is as though] you place our sins in front of you, you spread out even our secret sins where you can see them.
你将我们的罪孽摆在你面前, 将我们的隐恶摆在你面光之中。
9 Because you are angry with us, you cause our lives to end; the years that we live pass as quickly as a sigh does.
我们经过的日子都在你震怒之下; 我们度尽的年岁好像一声叹息。
10 People live for only 70 years; but if they are strong, some of them live for 80 years. But even during good years we have much pain and troubles; our lives soon end, and we die [EUP].
我们一生的年日是七十岁, 若是强壮可到八十岁; 但其中所矜夸的不过是劳苦愁烦, 转眼成空,我们便如飞而去。
11 No one [RHQ] has fully experienced the powerful things you can do to them when you are angry with them, and people are not afraid that you will greatly punish them because of your being angry with them.
谁晓得你怒气的权势? 谁按着你该受的敬畏晓得你的忿怒呢?
12 So teach/help us to realize that we live for only a short time in order that we may [use our time] wisely.
求你指教我们怎样数算自己的日子, 好叫我们得着智慧的心。
13 Yahweh, how long [will you be angry with us]? Pity us who serve you.
耶和华啊,我们要等到几时呢? 求你转回,为你的仆人后悔。
14 Each morning show us that your faithfully loving us is enough for us in order that we may shout joyfully and be happy for the rest of our lives.
求你使我们早早饱得你的慈爱, 好叫我们一生一世欢呼喜乐。
15 Cause us to now be as happy for as many years as you (afflicted us/caused us to be sad) and we experienced troubles.
求你照着你使我们受苦的日子, 和我们遭难的年岁,叫我们喜乐。
16 Enable us to see the [great] things that you do and enable our descendants to [also] see your glorious power.
愿你的作为向你仆人显现; 愿你的荣耀向他们子孙显明。
17 Lord, our God, give us your blessings and enable us to be successful; yes, cause us to be successful in [everything] that we do [DOU]!
愿主—我们 神的荣美归于我们身上。 愿你坚立我们手所做的工; 我们手所做的工,愿你坚立。
