Chapter 90
1תְּפִלָּה לְמֹשֶׁה אִֽישׁ־הָאֱלֹהִים אֲֽדֹנָי מָעוֹן אַתָּה הָיִיתָ לָּנוּ בְּדֹר וָדֹֽרA prayer of Moses, the agent of God. O my Sovereign, You have been our refuge in every generation.Tefilah lemosheh ish-haelohim adonay maon atah hayita lanu bedor vador
2בְּטֶרֶם הָרִים יֻלָּדוּ וַתְּחוֹלֵֽל אֶרֶץ וְתֵבֵל וּֽמֵעוֹלָם עַד־עוֹלָם אַתָּה אֵֽלBefore the mountains came into being, before You brought forth the earth and the world, from eternity to eternity You are God.Beterem harim yuladu vatcholel eretz vetevel umeolam ad-olam atah el
3תָּשֵׁב אֱנוֹשׁ עַד־דַּכָּא וַתֹּאמֶר שׁוּבוּ בְנֵֽי־אָדָֽםYou return humans to dust; You decreed, “Return, you mortals!”Tashev enosh ad-daka vatomer shuvu veney-adam
4כִּי אֶלֶף שָׁנִים בְּֽעֵינֶיךָ כְּיוֹם אֶתְמוֹל כִּי יַעֲבֹר וְאַשְׁמוּרָה בַלָּֽיְלָהFor in Your sight a thousand years are like yesterday that has passed, like a watch of the night.Ki elef shanim beeyneycha keyom etmol ki yaavor veashmurah valaylah
5זְרַמְתָּם שֵׁנָה יִהְיוּ בַּבֹּקֶר כֶּחָצִיר יַחֲלֹֽףYou engulf mortals in sleep; at daybreak they are like grass that renews itself;Zeramtam shenah yihyu baboker kechatzir yachalof
6בַּבֹּקֶר יָצִיץ וְחָלָף לָעֶרֶב יְמוֹלֵל וְיָבֵֽשׁat daybreak it flourishes anew; by dusk it withers and dries up.Baboker yatzitz vechalaf laerev yemolel veyavesh
7כִּי־כָלִינוּ בְאַפֶּךָ וּֽבַחֲמָתְךָ נִבְהָֽלְנוּSo we are consumed by Your anger, terror-struck by Your fury.Ki-chalinu veapecha uvachamatcha nivhalnu
8שַׁתָּ עֲוֺנֹתֵינוּ לְנֶגְדֶּךָ עֲלֻמֵנוּ לִמְאוֹר פָּנֶֽיךָYou have set our iniquities before You, our hidden sins in the light of Your face.Shata aonoteynu lenegdecha alumenu limor paneycha
9כִּי כׇל־יָמֵינוּ פָּנוּ בְעֶבְרָתֶךָ כִּלִּינוּ שָׁנֵינוּ כְמוֹ־הֶֽגֶהAll our days pass away in Your wrath; we spend our years like a sigh.Ki chol-yameynu panu veevratecha kilinu shaneynu chemo-hegeh
10יְמֵֽי־שְׁנוֹתֵינוּ בָהֶם שִׁבְעִים שָׁנָה וְאִם בִּגְבוּרֹת שְׁמוֹנִים שָׁנָה וְרׇהְבָּם עָמָל וָאָוֶן כִּי־גָז חִישׁ וַנָּעֻֽפָהThe span of our life is seventy years, or, given the strength, eighty years; but the best of them are trouble and sorrow. They pass by speedily, and we are in darkness.Yemey-shenoteynu vahem shivim shanah veim bigvurot shemonim shanah verohbam amal vaaven ki-gaz chish vanaufah
11מִֽי־יוֹדֵעַ עֹז אַפֶּךָ וּכְיִרְאָתְךָ עֶבְרָתֶֽךָWho can know Your furious anger? Your wrath matches the fear of You.Mi-yodea oz apecha uchyiratcha evratecha
12לִמְנוֹת יָמֵינוּ כֵּן הוֹדַע וְנָבִא לְבַב חׇכְמָֽהTeach us to count our days rightly, that we may obtain a wise heart.Limnot yameynu ken hoda venavi levav chochmah
13שׁוּבָה יְהֹוָה עַד־מָתָי וְהִנָּחֵם עַל־עֲבָדֶֽיךָTurn, O ETERNAL One! How long? Show mercy to Your servants.Shuvah Adonai ad-matay vehinachem al-avadeycha
14שַׂבְּעֵנוּ בַבֹּקֶר חַסְדֶּךָ וּֽנְרַנְּנָה וְנִשְׂמְחָה בְּכׇל־יָמֵֽינוּSatisfy us at daybreak with Your steadfast love that we may sing for joy all our days.Sabenu vaboker chasdecha unrannah venismchah bechol-yameynu
15שַׂמְּחֵנוּ כִּימוֹת עִנִּיתָנוּ שְׁנוֹת רָאִינוּ רָעָֽהGive us joy for as long as You have afflicted us, for the years we have suffered misfortune.Samchenu kimot initanu shenot rainu raah
16יֵרָאֶה אֶל־עֲבָדֶיךָ פׇעֳלֶךָ וַהֲדָרְךָ עַל־בְּנֵיהֶֽםLet Your deeds be seen by Your servants, Your glory by their children.Yeraeh el-avadeycha foolecha vahadarcha al-beneyhem
17וִיהִי נֹעַם אֲדֹנָי אֱלֹהֵינוּ עָלֵינוּ וּמַעֲשֵׂה יָדֵינוּ כּוֹנְנָה עָלֵינוּ וּֽמַעֲשֵׂה יָדֵינוּ כּוֹנְנֵֽהוּMay the favor of my Sovereign, our God, be upon us; let the work of our hands prosper, O prosper the work of our hands!Vihi noam adonay eloheynu aleynu umaaseh yadeynu konnah aleynu umaaseh yadeynu konnehu
