Tehillim 90

(Tefillah of Moshe, ish HaElohim)
1Adonoi, Thou hast been our ma'on (dwelling place) b'dor vador.
2Before the harim were brought forth, or ever Thou hadst formed eretz and the tevel (inhabited world), even from olam ad olam, Thou art El (G-d).
3Thou turnest enosh to dakka (dust); and sayest, Shuvu, ye Bnei Adam.
4For an elef shanim in Thy sight are but as yom etmol (yesterday) when it is past, and as an ashmurah (watch, division of time) in the lailah.
5Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sheinah (sleep); in the boker they are like khatzir (grass) which withereth.
6In the boker it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the erev it is cut down, and drieth up.
7For we are consumed by Thine anger, and by Thy chemah are we troubled.
8Thou hast set avonoteinu before Thee, our secret sins in the ohr of Thy countenance.
9For kol yameinu are passed away in Thy evrah (fury); we spend shaneinu (our years) like a sigh.
10The yamim of shnoteinu (our years, life) are threescore shanah and ten; and if by reason of gevurot they are fourscore shanah, yet is their boast amal (trouble, toil) and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
11Who has da'as of the oz (power) of Thine anger? Thy evrah is as great as Thy yirah (fear of, reverence owed G-d).
12So teach us to number yameinu, that we may apply levav unto chochmah.
13Shuvah, Hashem. Ad mosai? Have compassion on Thy avadim.
14O satisfy us baboker with Thy chesed; that we may sing for joy and be glad kol yameinu (all our days).
15Make us glad according to the days wherein Thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen ra'ah.
16Let Thy work appear unto Thy avadim, and Thy glory unto their banim.
17And let the no'am (favor, delightfulness) of Adonoi Eloheinu be upon us; and establish Thou the ma'aseh yadeinu upon us; yes, the ma'aseh yadeinu establish Thou it.

Psalm 90
90
1 The Praise of a Canticle, of David. Whoever dwells with the assistance of the Most High will abide in the protection of the God of heaven.
2 He will say to the Lord, "You are my supporter and my refuge." My God, I will hope in him.
3 For he has freed me from the snare of those who go hunting, and from the harsh word.
4 He will overshadow you with his shoulders, and you will hope under his wings.
5 His truth will surround you with a shield. You will not be afraid: before the terror of the night,
6 before the arrow flying in the day, before the troubles that wander in the darkness, nor of invasion and the midday demon.
7 A thousand will fall before your side and ten thousand before your right hand. Yet it will not draw near you.
8 So then, truly, you will consider with your eyes, and you will see the retribution of sinners.
9 For you, O Lord, are my hope. You have set the Most High as your refuge.
10 Disaster will not draw near to you, and the scourge will not approach your tabernacle.
11 For he has given his Angels charge over you, so as to preserve you in all your ways.
12 With their hands, they will carry you, lest you hurt your foot against a stone.
13 You will walk over the asp and the king serpent, and you will trample the lion and the dragon.
14 Because he has hoped in me, I will free him. I will protect him because he has known my name.
15 He will cry out to me, and I will heed him. I am with him in tribulation. I will rescue him, and I will glorify him.
16 I will fill him with length of days. And I will reveal to him my salvation.
