Psalms 90
1 A Prayer by Moses, the man of God. Lord, you have been our dwelling place for all generations.
Doa Musa, abdi Allah. Tuhan, Engkaulah tempat perteduhan kami turun-temurun.
2 Before the mountains were born, before you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.
Sebelum gunung-gunung dilahirkan, dan bumi dan dunia diperanakkan, bahkan dari selama-lamanya sampai selama-lamanya Engkaulah Allah.
3 You turn man to destruction, saying, “Return, you children of men.”
Engkau mengembalikan manusia kepada debu, dan berkata: "Kembalilah, hai anak-anak manusia!"
4 For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past, like a watch in the night.
Sebab di mata-Mu seribu tahun sama seperti hari kemarin, apabila berlalu, atau seperti suatu giliran jaga di waktu malam.
5 You sweep them away as they sleep. In the morning they sprout like new grass.
Engkau menghanyutkan manusia; mereka seperti mimpi, seperti rumput yang bertumbuh,
6 In the morning it sprouts and springs up. By evening, it is withered and dry.
di waktu pagi berkembang dan bertumbuh, di waktu petang lisut dan layu.
7 For we are consumed in your anger. We are troubled in your wrath.
Sungguh, kami habis lenyap karena murka-Mu, dan karena kehangatan amarah-Mu kami terkejut.
8 You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.
Engkau menaruh kesalahan kami di hadapan-Mu, dan dosa kami yang tersembunyi dalam cahaya wajah-Mu.
9 For all our days have passed away in your wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh.
Sungguh, segala hari kami berlalu karena gemas-Mu, kami menghabiskan tahun-tahun kami seperti keluh.
10 The days of our years are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty years; yet their pride is but labour and sorrow, for it passes quickly, and we fly away.
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 knows the power of your anger, your wrath according to the fear that is due to you?
Siapakah yang mengenal kekuatan murka-Mu dan takut kepada gemas-Mu?
12 So teach us to count our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
Ajarlah kami menghitung hari-hari kami sedemikian, hingga kami beroleh hati yang bijaksana.
13 Relent, LORD! How long? Have compassion on your servants!
Kembalilah, ya TUHAN--berapa lama lagi? --dan sayangilah hamba-hamba-Mu!
14 Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
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 have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen evil.
Buatlah kami bersukacita seimbang dengan hari-hari Engkau menindas kami, seimbang dengan tahun-tahun kami mengalami celaka.
16 Let your work appear to your servants, your glory to their children.
Biarlah kelihatan kepada hamba-hamba-Mu perbuatan-Mu, dan semarak-Mu kepada anak-anak mereka.
17 Let the favour of the Lord our God be on us. Establish the work of our hands for us. Yes, establish the work of our hands.
Kiranya kemurahan Tuhan, Allah kami, atas kami, dan teguhkanlah perbuatan tangan kami, ya, perbuatan tangan kami, teguhkanlah itu.
