诗篇 90
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
诗篇卷四
人生苦短祈求 神怜恤施恩
神人摩西的祈祷。
90 主啊！你世世代代作我们的居所。（本节在《马索拉文本》包括细字标题）
2 群山尚未生出，
大地和世界你未曾造成，
从永远到永远，你是 神。
3 你使人归回尘土，
说：“世人哪！你们要归回尘土。”
4 在你看来，
千年好象刚过去了的昨天，
又像夜里的一更。
5 你使世人消逝，像被洪水冲去；
他们好象睡了一觉；
他们又像在早晨生长的草，
6 早晨发芽生长，
晚上就凋萎枯干。
7 我们因你的怒气而消灭，
因你的烈怒而惊恐。
8 你把我们的罪孽摆在你面前，
把我们的隐恶摆在你脸光之中。
9 我们一生的日子都在你的震怒中消逝，
我们度尽的年岁好象一声叹息。
10 我们一生的年日是七十岁，
如果强壮，可到八十岁，
但其中可夸耀的，不过是劳苦愁烦；
我们的年日转眼即逝，
我们也如飞而去了。
11 谁晓得你怒气的威力，
谁按着你该受的敬畏晓得你的忿怒呢？
12 求你教导我们怎样数算自己的日子，
好使我们得着智慧的心。
13 耶和华啊！要到几时呢？求你回心转意，
求你怜恤你的仆人。
14 求你使我们早晨饱尝你的慈爱，
好使我们一生一世欢呼喜乐。
15 你使我们受苦和遭难的年日有多久，
求你使我们喜乐的日子也有多久。
16 愿你的作为向你的仆人彰显，
愿你的威严向他们的子孙显明。
17 愿主我们的 神的恩慈临到我们身上；
愿你为我们的缘故，坚立我们手所作的工；
我们手所作的工，愿你坚立。
Psalm 90
Common English Bible
BOOK IV
(Psalms 90–106)
Psalm 90
A prayer of Moses, the man of God.
90 Lord, you have been our help,
generation after generation.
2 Before the mountains were born,
before you birthed the earth and the inhabited world—
from forever in the past
to forever in the future, you are God.
3 You return people to dust,
saying, “Go back, humans,”
4 because in your perspective a thousand years
are like yesterday past,
like a short period during the night watch.
5 You sweep humans away like a dream,
like grass that is renewed in the morning.
6 True, in the morning it thrives, renewed,
but come evening it withers, all dried up.
7 Yes, we are wasting away because of your wrath;
we are paralyzed with fear on account of your rage.
8 You put our sins right in front of you,
set our hidden faults in the light from your face.
9 Yes, all our days slip away because of your fury;
we finish up our years with a whimper.
10 We live at best to be seventy years old,
maybe eighty, if we’re strong.
But their duration brings hard work and trouble
because they go by so quickly.
And then we fly off.
11 Who can comprehend the power of your anger?
The honor that is due you corresponds to your wrath.
12 Teach us to number our days
so we can have a wise heart.
13 Come back to us, Lord!
Please, quick!
Have some compassion for your servants!
14 Fill us full every morning with your faithful love
so we can rejoice and celebrate our whole life long.
15 Make us happy for the same amount of time that you afflicted us—
for the same number of years that we saw only trouble.
16 Let your acts be seen by your servants;
let your glory be seen by their children.
17 Let the kindness of the Lord our God be over us.
Make the work of our hands last.
Make the work of our hands last!
Psalm 90
EasyEnglish Bible
A prayer of Moses, God's servant.
God lives for ever![a]
90 Lord, from long ago,
you have always been a safe home for us.[b]
2 From before the mountains began,
and before you made the world,
you were already there, as God.
You have no beginning and no end.
3 People return to dust in the ground when they die.
You say, ‘Become dust again, you people.’[c]
4 For you, a thousand years is only a short time.
They pass as quickly as a day for you,
or just a few hours in the night.
5 You cause people's lives to end,
as a dream finishes when you wake up.
People are like grass that appears in the morning.
6 During the morning, it grows well.
By the evening,
it becomes dry and it dies.
7 Your anger destroys us,
and we become very afraid.
8 All our sins are there for you to see.
You even see the sins that we have tried to hide.
9 Your anger gives us trouble all through our lives.
Then our lives end in a short groan.
10 The number of our days make 70 years,
or maybe 80 years if we are strong enough.
But even in the best years of our lives,
we have trouble and pain.
Our lives quickly pass,
and we hurry towards death.
11 Lord, nobody knows all the power of your anger.
It is your anger that causes people to be afraid of you.
12 Teach us to count carefully the days of our short lives.
Then we will be wise in how we live.
13 Lord, return to help us!
How long will you be angry with us?
Please be kind to us, your servants!
14 Show your faithful love to us every morning.
Then we will sing with joy,
and we will be happy for as long as we live.
15 For many years you have sent trouble to us.
Now, please make us happy
for as many years as you have given us pain.
16 Do great things again,
so that we, your servants, see them!
Let our children see that you rule as King!
17 Yes, may the Lord our God bless us.
May everything that we do go well!
Yes, may everything go well!
Footnotes
- 90:1 These are words that Moses prayed. This psalm makes us think of Genesis 3 and Deuteronomy 32. We learn about God (verses 1-2) and about people (verses 3-6). We learn that God is angry when we do wrong things (verses 7-11), so we should be careful in how we live our short lives (verses 12-17).
- 90:1 See John 14:2.
- 90:3 See Genesis 2:7.
