स्तोत्र ग्रन्थ 90

1A prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, thou hast been our refuge from generation to generation.

2Before the mountains were made, or the earth and the world was formed; from eternity and to eternity thou art God.

3Turn not man away to be brought low: and thou hast said: Be converted, O ye sons of men.

4For a thousand years in thy sight are as yesterday, which is past. And as a watch in the night,

5Things that are counted nothing, shall their years be.

6In the morning man shall grow up like grass; in the morning he shall flourish and pass away: in the evening he shall fall, grow dry, and wither.

7For in thy wrath we have fainted away: and are troubled in thy indignation.

8Thou hast set our iniquities before thy eyes: our life in the light of thy countenance.

9For all our days are spent; and in thy wrath we have fainted away. Our years shall be considered as a spider:

10The days of our years in them are threescore and ten years. But if in the strong they be fourscore years: and what is more of them is labour and sorrow. For mildness is come upon us: and we shall be corrected.

11Who knoweth the power of thy anger, and for thy fear

12Can number thy wrath? So make thy right hand known: and men learned in heart, in wisdom.

13Return, O Lord, how long? and be entreated in favour of thy servants.

14We are filled in the morning with thy mercy: and we have rejoiced, and are delighted all our days.

15We have rejoiced for the days in which thou hast humbled us: for the years in which we have seen evils.

16Look upon thy servants and upon their works: and direct their children.

17And let the brightness of the Lord our God be upon us: and direct thou the works of our hands over us; yea, the work of our hands do thou direct.

1Oratio Moysi, hominis Dei. [Domine, refugium factus es nobis a generatione in generationem.

2Priusquam montes fierent, aut formaretur terra et orbis, a sæculo et usque in sæculum tu es, Deus.

3Ne avertas hominem in humilitatem: et dixisti: Convertimini, filii hominum.

4Quoniam mille anni ante oculos tuos tamquam dies hesterna quæ præteriit: et custodia in nocte

5quæ pro nihilo habentur, eorum anni erunt.

6Mane sicut herba transeat; mane floreat, et transeat; vespere decidat, induret, et arescat.

7Quia defecimus in ira tua, et in furore tuo turbati sumus.

8Posuisti iniquitates nostras in conspectu tuo; sæculum nostrum in illuminatione vultus tui.

9Quoniam omnes dies nostri defecerunt, et in ira tua defecimus. Anni nostri sicut aranea meditabuntur;

10dies annorum nostrorum in ipsis septuaginta anni. Si autem in potentatibus octoginta anni, et amplius eorum labor et dolor; quoniam supervenit mansuetudo, et corripiemur.

11Quis novit potestatem iræ tuæ, et præ timore tuo iram tuam

12dinumerare? Dexteram tuam sic notam fac, et eruditos corde in sapientia.

13Convertere, Domine; usquequo? et deprecabilis esto super servos tuos.

14Repleti sumus mane misericordia tua; et exsultavimus, et delectati sumus omnibus diebus nostris.

15Lætati sumus pro diebus quibus nos humiliasti; annis quibus vidimus mala.

16Respice in servos tuos et in opera tua, et dirige filios eorum.

17Et sit splendor Domini Dei nostri super nos, et opera manuum nostrarum dirige super nos, et opus manuum nostrarum dirige.]

1A prayer of Moses, the man of God. O Lord, you have been our refuge from generation to generation.

2Before the mountains became, or the land was formed along with the world: from ages past, even to all ages, you are God.

3And, lest man be turned aside in humiliation, you have said: Be converted, O sons of men.

4For a thousand years before your eyes are like the days of yesterday, which have passed by, and they are like a watch of the night,

5which was held for nothing: so their years shall be.

6In the morning, he may pass away like grass; in the morning, he may flower and pass away. In the evening, he will fall, and harden, and become dry.

7For, at your wrath, we have withered away, and we have been disturbed by your fury.

8You have placed our iniquities in your sight, our age in the illumination of your countenance.

9For all our days have faded away, and at your wrath, we have fainted. Our years will be considered to be like a spider’s web.

10The days of our years in them are seventy years. But in the powerful, they are eighty years, and more of these are with hardship and sorrow. For mildness has overwhelmed us, and we shall be corrected.

11Who knows the power of your wrath? And, before fear, can your wrath

12be numbered? So make known your right hand, along with men learned in heart, in wisdom.

13Return, O Lord, how long? And may you be persuaded on behalf of your servants.

14We were filled in the morning with your mercy, and we exulted and delighted all our days.

15We have been rejoicing, because of the days in which you humbled us, because of the years in which we saw evils.

16Look down upon your servants and upon their works, and direct their sons.

17And may the splendor of the Lord our God be upon us. And so, direct the works of our hands over us; direct even the work of our hands.
