Mazmur 90

1 Doa Musa, abdi Allah. Tuhan, Engkaulah tempat perteduhan kami turun-temurun.

A PRAYER OF MOSES, THE MAN OF GOD. Lord, You have been a habitation, To us—in generation and generation,

2 Sebelum gunung-gunung dilahirkan, dan bumi dan dunia diperanakkan, bahkan dari selama-lamanya sampai selama-lamanya Engkaulah Allah.

Before mountains were brought forth, And You form the earth and the world, Even from age to age You [are] God.

3 Engkau mengembalikan manusia kepada debu, dan berkata: "Kembalilah, hai anak-anak manusia!"

You turn man to a bruised thing, And say, Return, you 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 one thousand years in Your eyes [are] as yesterday, For it passes on, indeed, [as] a watch by night.

5 Engkau menghanyutkan manusia; mereka seperti mimpi, seperti rumput yang bertumbuh,

You have inundated them, they are asleep, In the morning he changes as grass.

6 di waktu pagi berkembang dan bertumbuh, di waktu petang lisut dan layu.

In the morning it flourishes, and has changed, At evening it is cut down, and has withered.

7 Sungguh, kami habis lenyap karena murka-Mu, dan karena kehangatan amarah-Mu kami terkejut.

For we were consumed in Your anger, And we have been troubled in Your fury.

8 Engkau menaruh kesalahan kami di hadapan-Mu, dan dosa kami yang tersembunyi dalam cahaya wajah-Mu.

You have set our iniquities before You, Our hidden things at the light of Your face,

9 Sungguh, segala hari kami berlalu karena gemas-Mu, kami menghabiskan tahun-tahun kami seperti keluh.

For all our days pined away in Your wrath, We consumed our years as a (meditation)

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] seventy years, And if, by reason of might, eighty years, Yet their enlargement [is] labor and vanity, For it has been cut off quickly, and we fly away.

11 Siapakah yang mengenal kekuatan murka-Mu dan takut kepada gemas-Mu?

Who knows the power of Your anger? And according to Your fear—Your wrath?

12 Ajarlah kami menghitung hari-hari kami sedemikian, hingga kami beroleh hati yang bijaksana.

Let [us] know to number our days correctly, And we bring the heart to wisdom.

13 Kembalilah, ya TUHAN--berapa lama lagi? --dan sayangilah hamba-hamba-Mu!

Turn back, O YHWH, until when? And regret concerning Your servants.

14 Kenyangkanlah kami di waktu pagi dengan kasih setia-Mu, supaya kami bersorak-sorai dan bersukacita semasa hari-hari kami.

Satisfy us at morning [with] Your kindness, And we sing and rejoice all our days.

15 Buatlah kami bersukacita seimbang dengan hari-hari Engkau menindas kami, seimbang dengan tahun-tahun kami mengalami celaka.

Cause us to rejoice according to the days Wherein You have afflicted us, The years we have seen evil.

16 Biarlah kelihatan kepada hamba-hamba-Mu perbuatan-Mu, dan semarak-Mu kepada anak-anak mereka.

Let Your work appear to Your servants, And Your honor on their sons.

17 Kiranya kemurahan Tuhan, Allah kami, atas kami, dan teguhkanlah perbuatan tangan kami, ya, perbuatan tangan kami, teguhkanlah itu.

And let the pleasantness of our God YHWH be on us, And establish on us the work of our hands, Indeed, establish the work of our hands!
