Psalm 90:1-17

Book IV

Psalms 90–106

Psalm 90

A prayer of Moses, the man of God.

1Lord, from the very beginning

you have been like a home to us.

2Before you created the whole world and the mountains were made,

from the beginning to the end you are God.

3You turn human beings back to dust.

You say to them, “Return to dust.”

4To you a thousand years

are like a day that has just gone by.

They are like a few hours of the night.

5Yet you sweep people away, and they die.

They are like new grass that grows in the morning.

6In the morning it springs up new,

but by evening it’s all dried up.

7Your anger destroys us.

Your burning anger terrifies us.

8You have put our sins right in front of you.

You have placed our secret sins where you can see them clearly.

9You have been angry with us all of our days.

We groan as we come to the end of our lives.

10We live to be about 70.

Or we may live to be 80, if we stay healthy.

But even our best days are filled with trouble and sorrow.

The years quickly pass, and we are gone.

11If only we knew the power of your anger!

It’s as great as the respect we should have for you.

12Teach us to realize how short our lives are.

Then our hearts will become wise.

13Lord, please stop punishing us!

How long will you keep it up?

Be kind to us.

14Satisfy us with your faithful love every morning.

Then we can sing for joy and be glad all our days.

15Make us glad for as many days as you have made us suffer.

Give us joy for as many years as we’ve had trouble.

16Show us your mighty acts.

Let our children see your glorious power.

17May the Lord our God always be pleased with us.

Lord, make what we do succeed.

Please make what we do succeed.

Zaburi 90

Umilele Wa Mungu Na Udhaifu Wa Mwanadamu

Maombi ya Mose, mtu wa Mungu.

190:1 Kum 33:27; Efe 2:22; Ufu 21:3Bwana, wewe umekuwa makao yetu

katika vizazi vyote.

290:2 Ay 38:4, 5; 10:5; 15:7; Mwa 21:33; Isa 9:6; 57:15; Za 102:24-27; Mit 8:23-26Kabla ya kuzaliwa milima

au hujaumba dunia na ulimwengu,

wewe ni Mungu tangu milele hata milele.

390:3 Mwa 2:7; 3:9; Ay 7:21; 34:15; 1Kor 15:47; Mhu 12:7Huwarudisha watu mavumbini,

ukisema, “Rudini mavumbini, enyi wanadamu.”

490:4 Ebr 13:8; 2Pet 3:8; Ay 10:5Kwa maana kwako miaka elfu

ni kama siku moja iliyokwisha pita,

au kama kesha la usiku.

590:5 Mwa 19:15; Isa 40:6Unawatowesha wanadamu katika usingizi wa kifo,

nao ni kama majani machanga ya asubuhi:

690:6 Isa 40:6-8; Ay 14:2; Za 92:7ingawa asubuhi yanachipua,

ifikapo jioni huwa yamenyauka na kukauka.

7Tumeangamizwa kwa hasira yako

na tumetishwa kwa ghadhabu yako.

890:8 2Kor 4:2; Efe 5:12; Ebr 4:13; 4:12, 13; Za 19:12; 50:21; Yer 16:17; Mit 5:21; Mhu 12:14; Rum 2:16; 1Kor 4:5Umeyaweka maovu yetu mbele yako,

dhambi zetu za siri katika nuru ya uwepo wako.

990:9 Za 78:33Tumeishi siku zetu zote chini ya ghadhabu yako,

tunamaliza miaka yetu kwa kuomboleza.

1090:10 Isa 23:15, 17; 2Sam 19:35; Ay 5:7; 20:8; 34:15; Yer 25:11Siku zetu za kuishi ni miaka sabini,

au miaka themanini ikiwa tuna nguvu,

lakini yote ni ya shida na taabu,

nazo zapita haraka, nasi twatoweka.

1190:11 Za 7:11; 76:7Ni nani ajuaye nguvu za hasira yako?

Kwa maana ghadhabu yako ni kubwa

kama hofu tunayopaswa kuwa nayo kwako.

1290:12 Za 39:4; 139:16; Mit 16:9; 20:24; Kum 32:29Tufundishe kuzihesabu siku zetu vizuri,

ili tujipatie moyo wa hekima.

1390:13 Za 6:3; Kum 32:36Ee Bwana, uwe na huruma! Utakawia hata lini?

Wahurumie watumishi wako.

1490:14 Za 103:5; 107:9; 145:16, 19; 31:7; 77:8; 143:8Tushibishe asubuhi kwa upendo wako usiokoma,

ili tuweze kuimba kwa shangwe na kufurahi siku zetu zote.

15Utufurahishe kulingana na siku ulizotuadhibu,

kulingana na miaka tuliyotaabika.

1690:16 Za 44:1; Hab 3:2Matendo yako na yaonekane kwa watumishi wako,

utukufu wako kwa watoto wao.

1790:17 Isa 26:12; 2The 2:16, 17Wema wa Bwana Mungu wetu uwe juu yetu;

uzithibitishe kazi za mikono yetu:

naam, uzithibitishe kazi za mikono yetu.
