Mazmur 90
1 Doa Musa, abdi Allah. Tuhan, Engkaulah tempat perteduhan kami turun-temurun.
A prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, thou hast been our refuge from generation to generation.
2 Sebelum gunung-gunung dilahirkan, dan bumi dan dunia diperanakkan, bahkan dari selama-lamanya sampai selama-lamanya Engkaulah Allah.
Before the mountains were made, or the earth and the world was formed; from eternity and to eternity thou art God.
3 Engkau mengembalikan manusia kepada debu, dan berkata: "Kembalilah, hai anak-anak manusia!"
Turn not man away to be brought low: and thou hast said: Be converted, O ye sons of men.
4 Sebab di mata-Mu seribu tahun sama seperti hari kemarin, apabila berlalu, atau seperti suatu giliran jaga di waktu malam.
For a thousand years in thy sight are as yesterday, which is past. And as a watch in the night,
5 Engkau menghanyutkan manusia; mereka seperti mimpi, seperti rumput yang bertumbuh,
Things that are counted nothing, shall their years be.
6 di waktu pagi berkembang dan bertumbuh, di waktu petang lisut dan layu.
In the morning man shall grow up like grass; in the morning he shall flourish and pass away: in the evening he shall fall, grow dry, and wither.
7 Sungguh, kami habis lenyap karena murka-Mu, dan karena kehangatan amarah-Mu kami terkejut.
For in thy wrath we have fainted away: and are troubled in thy indignation.
8 Engkau menaruh kesalahan kami di hadapan-Mu, dan dosa kami yang tersembunyi dalam cahaya wajah-Mu.
Thou hast set our iniquities before thy eyes: our life in the light of thy countenance.
9 Sungguh, segala hari kami berlalu karena gemas-Mu, kami menghabiskan tahun-tahun kami seperti keluh.
For all our days are spent; and in thy wrath we have fainted away. Our years shall be considered as a spider:
10 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.
The days of our years in them are threescore and ten years. But if in the strong they be fourscore years: and what is more of them is labour and sorrow. For mildness is come upon us: and we shall be corrected.
11 Siapakah yang mengenal kekuatan murka-Mu dan takut kepada gemas-Mu?
Who knoweth the power of thy anger, and for thy fear
12 Ajarlah kami menghitung hari-hari kami sedemikian, hingga kami beroleh hati yang bijaksana.
Can number thy wrath? So make thy right hand known: and men learned in heart, in wisdom.
13 Kembalilah, ya TUHAN--berapa lama lagi? --dan sayangilah hamba-hamba-Mu!
Return, O Lord, how long? and be entreated in favour of thy servants.
14 Kenyangkanlah kami di waktu pagi dengan kasih setia-Mu, supaya kami bersorak-sorai dan bersukacita semasa hari-hari kami.
We are filled in the morning with thy mercy: and we have rejoiced, and are delighted all our days.
15 Buatlah kami bersukacita seimbang dengan hari-hari Engkau menindas kami, seimbang dengan tahun-tahun kami mengalami celaka.
We have rejoiced for the days in which thou hast humbled us: for the years in which we have seen evils.
16 Biarlah kelihatan kepada hamba-hamba-Mu perbuatan-Mu, dan semarak-Mu kepada anak-anak mereka.
Look upon thy servants and upon their works: and direct their children.
17 Kiranya kemurahan Tuhan, Allah kami, atas kami, dan teguhkanlah perbuatan tangan kami, ya, perbuatan tangan kami, teguhkanlah itu.
And let the brightness of the Lord our God be upon us: and direct thou the works of our hands over us; yea, the work of our hands do thou direct.
