Psalms 90
1 A Prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place in all generations.
| صَلاةٌ لِمُوسَى رَجُلِ اللهِ يَا رَبُّ أَنْتَ كُنْتَ مَلْجَأً لَنَا نَلُوذُ بِهِ جِيلاً بَعْدَ جِيلٍ. | ١ |
2 Before the mountains were brought forth, and thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from eternity to eternity thou art God.
| قَبْلَ أَنْ أَوْجَدْتَ الْجِبَالَ أَوْ كَوَّنْتَ الْمَسْكُونَةَ، أَنْتَ اللهُ مِنَ الأَزَلِ وَإِلَى الأَبَدِ. | ٢ |
3 Thou makest [mortal] man to return to dust, and sayest, Return, children of men.
| تُعِيدُ الإِنْسَانَ إِلَى التُّرَابِ قَائِلاً: عُودُوا إِلَيْهِ يَا بَنِي آدَمَ. | ٣ |
4 For a thousand years, in thy sight, are as yesterday when it is past, and [as] a watch in the night.
| فَإِنَّ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ كَيَوْمِ أَمْسِ الْعَابِرِ، أَوْ مِثْلُ هَزِيعٍ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ. | ٤ |
5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are [as] a sleep: in the morning they are like grass [that] groweth up:
| تَجْرُفُ الْبَشَرَ كَمَا يَجْرُفُهُمُ الطُّوفَانُ، فَيَزُولُونَ كَالْحُلْمِ عِنْدَ الصَّبَاحِ مِثْلَ الْعُشْبِ الَّذِي يَنْمُو. | ٥ |
6 In the morning it flourisheth and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down and withereth.
| يُزْهِرُ فِي الصَّبَاحِ وَيَنْمُو، وَفِي الْمَسَاءِ يُقْطَعُ وَيَجِفُّ. | ٦ |
7 For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy fury are we troubled.
| إِنَّ غَضَبَكَ قَدْ أَفْنَانَا وَسَخَطَكَ قَدْ رَوَّعَنَا. | ٧ |
8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret [sins] in the light of thy countenance.
| جَعَلْتَ آثَامَنَا أَمَامَكَ وَخَطَايَانَا الْخَفِيَّةَ ظَاهِرَةً لَدَيْكَ. | ٨ |
9 For all our days pass away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a [passing] thought.
| لأَنَّ أَيَّامَنَا كُلَّهَا تَنْقَضِي فِي غَضَبِكَ الشَّدِيدِ، وَأَعْوَامَنَا تَتَلاشَى كَزَفْرَةٍ. | ٩ |
10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if, by reason of strength, they be fourscore years, yet their pride is labour and vanity, for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
| قَدْ نَعِيشُ سَبْعِينَ سَنَةً، وَإِنْ كُنَّا ذَوِي عَافِيَةٍ فَثَمَانينَ وَأَفْضَلُ أَيَّامِنَا تَعَبٌ وَبَلِيَّةٌ، لأَنَّهَا سَرْعَانَ مَا تَزُولُ فَنَطِيرُ. | ١٠ |
11 Who knoweth the power of thine anger? and thy wrath according to the fear of thee?
| مَنْ يَعْرِفُ شِدَّةَ غَضَبِكَ؟ إِنَّ سَخَطَكَ هُوَ بِحَسَبِ مَهَابَتِكَ؟ | ١١ |
12 So teach [us] to number our days, that we may acquire a wise heart.
| عَلِّمْنَا إِحْصَاءَ أَيَّامِنَا، لَعَلَّنَا نَتَعَقَّلُ بِقَلْبٍ حَكِيمٍ. | ١٢ |
13 Return, Jehovah: how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.
| إِلَى مَتَى يَطُولُ يَا رَبُّ غَضَبُكَ؟ ارْجِعْ وَتَعَطَّفْ عَلَى عَبِيدِكَ. | ١٣ |
14 Satisfy us early with thy loving-kindness; that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
| أَفِضْ عَلَيْنَا بَاكِراً مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ، فَنَتَرَنَّمَ فَرَحاً وَنَبْتَهِجَ طَوَالَ أَعْمَارِنَا. | ١٤ |
15 Make us glad according to the days [wherein] thou hast afflicted us, according to the years [wherein] we have seen evil.
| فَرِّحْنَا بِمِقْدَارِ الأَيَّامِ الَّتِي بَلَيْتَنَا بِها، وَبِمِقْدَارِ السِّنِينَ الَّتِي رَأَيْنَا فِيهَا الْمَصَائِبَ | ١٥ |
16 Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy majesty unto their sons.
| لِيَظْهَرْ صَنِيعُكَ أَمَامَ عَبِيدِكَ وَجَلالُكَ أَمَامَ أَبْنَائِهِمْ. | ١٦ |
17 And let the beauty of Jehovah our God be upon us; and establish thou the work of our hands upon us: yea, the work of our hands, establish thou it.
| وَلْتَكُنْ نِعْمَةُ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا عَلَيْنَا. أَنْجِحْ عَمَلَ أَيْدِينَا، نَعَمْ أَنْجِحْ لَنَا عَمَلَ أَيْدِينَا. | ١٧ |
