< Mazmur 90 >
1 Doa Musa, hamba Allah. Ya TUHAN, Engkaulah tempat kami berlindung turun-temurun.
Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations.
2 Sebelum gunung-gunung diciptakan, sebelum bumi dan dunia Kaubentuk, Engkaulah Allah yang kekal, tanpa awal tanpa akhir.
Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.
3 Engkau menyuruh manusia kembali ke asalnya, menjadi debu seperti semula.
You turn man to destruction; and say, Return, you children of men.
4 Bagi-Mu seribu tahun seperti satu hari, hari kemarin yang sudah lewat; seperti satu giliran jaga di waktu malam.
For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
5 Engkau menghanyutkan kami; kami seperti mimpi, seperti rumput yang bertunas;
You carry them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which grows up.
6 di waktu pagi ia tumbuh dan berkembang, tetapi menjadi layu di waktu petang.
In the morning it flourishes, and grows up; in the evening it is cut down, and wither.
7 Kami terkejut oleh kemarahan-Mu, dan habis binasa oleh murka-Mu.
For we are consumed by your anger, and by your wrath are we troubled.
8 Engkau menaruh kesalahan kami di hadapan-Mu, dosa kami yang tersembunyi terlihat oleh-Mu.
You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your countenance.
9 Hidup kami pendek karena kemarahan-Mu, tahun-tahun kami berakhir seperti hembusan napas.
For all our days are passed away in your wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.
10 Masa hidup kami hanya tujuh puluh tahun, kalau kami kuat, delapan puluh tahun. Tetapi hanya kesukaran dan penderitaan yang kami dapat; sesudah hidup yang singkat, kami pun lenyap.
The days of our years are three score years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
11 Siapakah yang mengenal kedahsyatan murka-Mu, atau cukup sadar akan akibat kemarahan-Mu?
Who knows the power of your anger? even according to your fear, so is your wrath.
12 Sadarkanlah kami akan singkatnya hidup ini supaya kami menjadi orang yang berbudi.
So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts to wisdom.
13 Ya TUHAN, sampai kapan Engkau marah? Kembalilah dan kasihanilah hamba-hamba-Mu.
Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent you concerning your servants.
14 Limpahkanlah kasih-Mu kepada kami setiap pagi, agar kami gembira dan menyanyi seumur hidup kami.
O satisfy us early with your mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
15 Berilah kami kebahagiaan seimbang dengan penderitaan yang kami tanggung dalam tahun-tahun sengsara.
Make us glad according to the days wherein you have afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.
16 Tunjukkanlah karya-Mu kepada kami hamba-hamba-Mu, dan kuasa-Mu yang semarak kepada keturunan kami.
Let your work appear to your servants, and your glory to their children.
17 Ya TUHAN Allah kami, berkatilah kami, supaya segala pekerjaan kami berhasil.
And let the beauty of the LORD our God be on us: and establish you the work of our hands on us; yes, the work of our hands establish you it.
