Psalm 90 (WEBP)

[1] Lord, 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! 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.

Psalm 90:1 The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.”
Psalm 90:13 “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “Lord” (all caps) in other translations.

[1] [89:1] προσευχη του μωυση ανθρωπου του θεου κυριε καταφυγη εγενηθης ημιν εν γενεα και γενεα
[2] [89:2] προ του ορη γενηθηναι και πλασθηναι την γην και την οικουμενην και απο του αιωνος εως του αιωνος συ ει
[3] [89:3] μη αποστρεψης ανθρωπον εις ταπεινωσιν και ειπας επιστρεψατε υιοι ανθρωπων
[4] [89:4] οτι χιλια ετη εν οφθαλμοις σου ως η ημερα η εχθες ητις διηλθεν και φυλακη εν νυκτι
[5] [89:5] τα εξουδενωματα αυτων ετη εσονται το πρωι ωσει χλοη παρελθοι
[6] [89:6] το πρωι ανθησαι και παρελθοι το εσπερας αποπεσοι σκληρυνθειη και ξηρανθειη
[7] [89:7] οτι εξελιπομεν εν τη οργη σου και εν τω θυμω σου εταραχθημεν
[8] [89:8] εθου τας ανομιας ημων ενωπιον σου ο αιων ημων εις φωτισμον του προσωπου σου
[9] [89:9] οτι πασαι αι ημεραι ημων εξελιπον και εν τη οργη σου εξελιπομεν τα ετη ημων ως αραχνην εμελετων
[10] [89:10] αι ημεραι των ετων ημων εν αυτοις εβδομηκοντα ετη εαν δε εν δυναστειαις ογδοηκοντα ετη και το πλειον αυτων κοπος και πονος οτι επηλθεν πραυτης εφ ημας και παιδευθησομεθα
[11] [89:11] τις γινωσκει το κρατος της οργης σου και απο του φοβου σου τον θυμον σου
[12] [89:12] εξαριθμησασθαι την δεξιαν σου ουτως γνωρισον και τους πεπεδημενους τη καρδια εν σοφια
[13] [89:13] επιστρεψον κυριε εως ποτε και παρακληθητι επι τοις δουλοις σου
[14] [89:14] ενεπλησθημεν το πρωι του ελεους σου και ηγαλλιασαμεθα και ευφρανθημεν εν πασαις ταις ημεραις ημων
[15] [89:15] ευφρανθημεν ανθ ων ημερων εταπεινωσας ημας ετων ων ειδομεν κακα
[16] [89:16] και ιδε επι τους δουλους σου και τα εργα σου και οδηγησον τους υιους αυτων
[17] [89:17] και εστω η λαμπροτης κυριου του θεου ημων εφ ημας και τα εργα των χειρων ημων κατευθυνον εφ ημας
