Ps 90

AA Prayer by Moses, the man of God. Lord, you have been our dwelling place for all generations. (LXX 89:1; Rahlfs 89:1) תְּפִלָּה֮ לְמֹשֶׁ֪ה אִֽישׁ־הָאֱלֹ֫הִ֥ים אֲֽדֹנָ֗י מָע֣וֹן אַ֭תָּה הָיִ֥יתָ לָּ֗נוּ בְּדֹ֣ר וָדֹֽר׃ 2Before the mountains were born, before you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God. (LXX 89:2; Rahlfs 89:2) בְּטֶ֤רֶם ׀ הָ֘רִ֤ים יֻלָּ֗דוּ וַתְּח֣וֹלֵֽל אֶ֣רֶץ וְתֵבֵ֑ל וּֽמֵעוֹלָ֥ם עַד־ע֝וֹלָ֗ם אַתָּ֥ה אֵֽל׃ 3You turn man to destruction, saying, “Return, you children of men.” (LXX 89:3; Rahlfs 89:3) תָּשֵׁ֣ב אֱ֭נוֹשׁ עַד־דַּכָּ֑א וַ֝תֹּ֗אמֶר שׁ֣וּבוּ בְנֵי־אָדָֽם׃ 4For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past, like a watch in the night. (LXX 89:4; Rahlfs 89:4) כִּ֤י אֶ֪לֶף שָׁנִ֡ים בְּֽעֵינֶ֗יךָ כְּי֣וֹם אֶ֭תְמוֹל כִּ֣י יַעֲבֹ֑ר וְאַשְׁמוּרָ֥ה בַלָּֽיְלָה׃ 5You sweep them away as they sleep. In the morning they sprout like new grass. (LXX 89:5; Rahlfs 89:5) זְ֭רַמְתָּם שֵׁנָ֣ה יִהְי֑וּ בַּ֝בֹּ֗קֶר כֶּחָצִ֥יר יַחֲלֹֽף׃ 6In the morning it sprouts and springs up. By evening, it is withered and dry. (LXX 89:6; Rahlfs 89:6) בַּ֭בֹּקֶר יָצִ֣יץ וְחָלָ֑ף לָ֝עֶ֗רֶב יְמוֹלֵ֥ל וְיָבֵֽשׁ׃ 7For we are consumed in your anger. We are troubled in your wrath. (LXX 89:7; Rahlfs 89:7) כִּֽי־כָלִ֥ינוּ בְאַפֶּ֑ךָ וּֽבַחֲמָתְךָ֥ נִבְהָֽלְנוּ׃ 8You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence. (LXX 89:8; Rahlfs 89:8) שת עֲוֺנֹתֵ֣ינוּ לְנֶגְדֶּ֑ךָ עֲ֝לֻמֵ֗נוּ לִמְא֥וֹר פָּנֶֽיךָ׃ 9For all our days have passed away in your wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh. (LXX 89:9; Rahlfs 89:9) כִּ֣י כָל־יָ֭מֵינוּ פָּנ֣וּ בְעֶבְרָתֶ֑ךָ כִּלִּ֖ינוּ שָׁנֵ֣ינוּ כְמוֹ־הֶֽגֶה׃ 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. (LXX 89:10; Rahlfs 89:10) יְמֵֽי־שְׁנוֹתֵ֨ינוּ בָהֶ֥ם שִׁבְעִ֪ים שָׁנָ֡ה וְאִ֤ם בִּגְבוּרֹ֨ת ׀ שְׁמ֘וֹנִ֤ים שָׁנָ֗ה וְ֭רָהְבָּם עָמָ֣ל וָאָ֑וֶן כִּי־גָ֥ז חִ֝֗ישׁ וַנָּעֻֽפָה׃ 11Who knows the power of your anger, your wrath according to the fear that is due to you? (LXX 89:11; Rahlfs 89:11) מִֽי־י֭וֹדֵעַ עֹ֣ז אַפֶּ֑ךָ וּ֝כְיִרְאָתְךָ֗ עֶבְרָתֶֽךָ׃ 12So teach us to count our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. (LXX 89:12; Rahlfs 89:12) לִמְנ֣וֹת יָ֭מֵינוּ כֵּ֣ן הוֹדַ֑ע וְ֝נָבִ֗א לְבַ֣ב חָכְמָֽה׃ 13Relent, Yahweh! How long? Have compassion on your servants! (LXX 89:13; Rahlfs 89:13) שׁוּבָ֣ה יְ֭הוָה עַד־מָתָ֑י וְ֝הִנָּחֵ֗ם עַל־עֲבָדֶֽיךָ׃ 14Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. (LXX 89:14; Rahlfs 89:14) שַׂבְּעֵ֣נוּ בַבֹּ֣קֶר חַסְדֶּ֑ךָ וּֽנְרַנְּנָ֥ה וְ֝נִשְׂמְחָ֗ה בְּכָל־יָמֵֽינוּ׃ 15Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen evil. (LXX 89:15; Rahlfs 89:15) שַׂ֭מְּחֵנוּ כִּימ֣וֹת עִנִּיתָ֑נוּ שְׁ֝נ֗וֹת רָאִ֥ינוּ רָעָֽה׃ 16Let your work appear to your servants, your glory to their children. (LXX 89:16; Rahlfs 89:16) יֵרָאֶ֣ה אֶל־עֲבָדֶ֣יךָ פָעֳלֶ֑ךָ וַ֝הֲדָרְךָ֗ עַל־בְּנֵיהֶֽם׃ 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. (LXX 89:17; Rahlfs 89:17) וִיהִ֤י ׀ נֹ֤עַם אֲדֹנָ֥י אֱלֹהֵ֗ינוּ עָ֫לֵ֥ינוּ וּמַעֲשֵׂ֣ה יָ֭דֵינוּ כּוֹנְנָ֥ה עָלֵ֑ינוּ וּֽמַעֲשֵׂ֥ה יָ֝דֵ֗ינוּ כּוֹנְנֵֽהוּ׃
