1(90) A Prayer of Mosesthe man of God. Lord, you have been our refuge in all generations.
1A Prayer by Moses, the man of God. Lord, you have been our dwelling place for all generations.
2Before the mountains existed, and [before] the earth and the world were formed, even from age to age, You are .
2Before the mountains were born, before you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.
3Turn not man back to [his] low place, whereas you said, Return, you⌃ sons of men?
3You turn man to destruction, saying, “Return, you children of men.”
4For a thousand years in your sight are as the yesterday which is past, and as a watch in the night.
4For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past, like a watch in the night.
5Years shall be vanity to them: let the morning pass away as grass.
5You sweep them away as they sleep. In the morning they sprout like new grass.
6In the morning let it flower, and pass away: in the evening let it droop, let it be withered and dried up.
6In the morning it sprouts and springs up. By evening, it is withered and dry.
7For we have perished in your anger, and in your wrath we have been troubled.
7For we are consumed in your anger. We are troubled in your wrath.
8You have set our transgressions before you: our age is in the light of your countenance.
8You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.
9For all our days are gone, and we have passed away in your wrath: our years have spun out their tale as a spider.
9For all our days have passed away in your wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh.
10[As for] the days of our years, in them are seventy years; and if [men should be] in strength, eighty years: and the greater part of them would be labor and trouble; for weakness overtakes us, and we shall be chastened.
10The days of our years are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty years; yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for it passes quickly, and we fly away.
11Who knows the power of your wrath ?
11Who knows the power of your anger, your wrath according to the fear that is due to you?
12and [who knows how] to number [his days] because of the fear of your wrath? So manifest your right hand, and those that are instructed in wisdom in the heart .
12So teach us to count our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
13Return, O Lord, how long? and be entreated concerning your servants.
13Relent, Yahweh! How long? Have compassion on your servants!
14We have been satisfied in the morning with your mercy; and we did exult and rejoice:
14Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
15let us rejoice in all our days, in return for the days wherein you did afflict us, the years wherein we saw evil.
15Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen evil.
16And look upon your servants, and upon your works; and guide their children.
16Let your work appear to your servants, your glory to their children.
17And let the brightness of the Lord our God be upon us: and do you direct for usthe works of our hands.
17Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us. Establish the work of our hands for us. Yes, establish the work of our hands.
