Salmos 90

A Prayer by Moses, the man of God.*90:0 The Hebrew word rendered "God" is "אֱלֹהִ֑ים" (Elohim).

1 Lord,*90:1 The word translated "Lord" is "Adonai." you have been our dwelling place for all generations.

2 Before the mountains were born,

before you had formed the earth and the world,

even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.

3 You turn man to destruction, saying,

"Return, you children of men."

4 For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past,

like a watch in the night.

5 You sweep them away as they sleep.

In the morning they sprout like new grass.

6 In the morning it sprouts and springs up.

By evening, it is withered and dry.

7 For we are consumed in your anger.

We are troubled in your wrath.

8 You have set our iniquities before you,

our secret sins in the light of your presence.

9 For all our days have passed away in your wrath.

We bring our years to an end as a sigh.

10 The 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.

11 Who knows the power of your anger,

your wrath according to the fear that is due to you?

12 So teach us to count our days,

that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

13 Relent, Yahweh!*90:13 "Yahweh" is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered "LORD" (all caps) in other translations.

How long?

Have compassion on your servants!

14 Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness,

that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

15 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us,

for as many years as we have seen evil.

16 Let your work appear to your servants,

your glory to their children.

17 Let 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.

Te Mutungakore o te Atua me te Kopītanga o te Tangata

He īnoi nā Mohi, nā te tangata a te Atua.

1 E te Ariki, ko koe tō mātou nohoanga

i ngā whakatupuranga katoa.

2 Kāhore anō i whānau noa ngā maunga,

kāhore i hangā e koe te whenua me te ao,

ko koe te Atua nō tua whakarere ā ake tonu atu.

3 E whakahokia ana e koe te tangata kia mongamonga noa,

ā, e mea ana, "E hoki, e ngā tama a te tangata."

4 Ki tāu titiro hoki, he rite ngā tau kotahi mano

ki te rā onanahi, kua pahure atu nei,

ki te mataaratanga hoki i te pō.

5 Me te mea nā te waipuke tāu kāhakinga i a rātou,

he moe rātou;

i te ata ānō he tarutaru e tupu ana;

6 i te ata e tupu ana, e pihi ana;

i te ahiahi kua kotia, kua maroke.

7 Kua hemo nei hoki mātou i tōu riri;

ka ohorere hoki i tōu āritatanga.

8 Kua makā e koe ō mātou kino ki tōu aroaro,

ō mātou mea huna ki te mārama o tōu mata.

9 Ka pau ō mātou rā katoa, me te riri anō koe;

hemo ake ō mātou tau ānō he kōrero e kōrerotia ana.

10 Ko ngā rā o ō mātou tau e whitu tekau tau;

ā, ki te whai kaha, ka waru tekau tau;

heoi he mahi māuiui, he pōuri tō rātou kaha;

ka hohoro hoki te hātepea atu, ā, ka rere atu mātou.

11 Ko wai te mātau ana ki te kaha o tōu riri?

Rite pū ki te wehi ki a koe tōu riri.

12 Ākona mātou ki te tatau i ō mātou rā,

kia anga ai te ngākau ki te whakaaro.

13 Hoki mai, e Ihowā, kia pēhea ake te roa?

Ā, kia puta kē he whakaaro mōu ki āu pononga.

14 Kia nā mātou i te ata i tāu mahi tohu;

kia hari ai mātou, kia koa ai, i ō mātou rā katoa.

15 Whakaharitia mātou, kia rite ki ngā rā i whakawhiua ai mātou e koe,

ki ngā tau i kite ai mātou i te kino.

16 Kia puta mai tāu mahi ki āu pononga,

me tōu korōria ki ā rātou tamariki.

17 Ā, hei runga i a mātou te ātaahua o Ihowā, o tō mātou Atua;

whakapūmautia anō ki a mātou te mahi a ō mātou ringa,

āe rā, te mahi a ō mātou ringa, whakapūmautia e koe.
