Chapter 90

¹A Prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations.

¹（神人摩西的祈禱）主啊，你世世代代作我們的居所。

²Before the mountains were born Or You gave birth to the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.

²諸山未曾生出，地與世界你未曾造成，從亙古到永遠，你是神。

³You turn man back into dust And say, 'Return, O children of men.'

³你使人歸於塵土，說：你們世人要歸回。

⁴For a thousand years in Your sight Are like yesterday when it passes by, Or [as] a watch in the night.

⁴在你看來，千年如已過的昨日，又如夜間的一更。

⁵You have swept them away like a flood, they fall asleep; In the morning they are like grass which sprouts anew.

⁵你叫他們如水沖去；他們如睡一覺。早晨，他們如生長的草，

⁶In the morning it flourishes and sprouts anew; Toward evening it fades and withers away.

⁶早晨發芽生長，晚上割下枯乾。

⁷For we have been consumed by Your anger And by Your wrath we have been dismayed.

⁷我們因你的怒氣而消滅，因你的忿怒而驚惶。

⁸You have placed our iniquities before You, Our secret [sins] in the light of Your presence.

⁸你將我們的罪孽擺在你面前，將我們的隱惡擺在你面光之中。

⁹For all our days have declined in Your fury; We have finished our years like a sigh.

⁹我們經過的日子都在你震怒之下；我們度盡的年歲好像一聲歎息。

¹⁰As for the days of our life, they contain seventy years, Or if due to strength, eighty years, Yet their pride is [but] labor and sorrow; For soon it is gone and we fly away.

¹⁰我們一生的年日是七十歲，若是強壯可到八十歲；但其中所矜誇的不過是勞苦愁煩，轉眼成空，我們便如飛而去。

¹¹Who understands the power of Your anger And Your fury, according to the fear that is due You?

¹¹誰曉得你怒氣的權勢？誰按著你該受的敬畏曉得你的忿怒呢？

¹²So teach us to number our days, That we may present to You a heart of wisdom.

¹²求你指教我們怎樣數算自己的日子，好叫我們得著智慧的心。

¹³Do return, O LORD; how long [will it be]? And be sorry for Your servants.

¹³耶和華啊，我們要等到幾時呢？求你轉回，為你的僕人後悔。

¹⁴O satisfy us in the morning with Your lovingkindness, That we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.

¹⁴求你使我們早早飽得你的慈愛，好叫我們一生一世歡呼喜樂。

¹⁵Make us glad according to the days You have afflicted us, [And] the years we have seen evil.

¹⁵求你照著你使我們受苦的日子，和我們遭難的年歲，叫我們喜樂。

¹⁶Let Your work appear to Your servants And Your majesty to their children.

¹⁶願你的作為向你僕人顯現；願你的榮耀向他們子孫顯明。

¹⁷Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us; And confirm for us the work of our hands; Yes, confirm the work of our hands.

¹⁷願主─我們神的榮美歸於我們身上。願你堅立我們手所做的工；我們手所做的工，願你堅立。
