90:1  (Tefillah of Moshe, ish HaElohim) Adonoi, Thou hast been our ma’on (dwelling place) b’dor vador.
90:2  Before 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).
90:3  Thou turnest enosh to dakka (dust); and sayest, Shuvu, ye Bnei Adam.
90:4  For 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.
90:5  Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sheinah (sleep); in the boker they are like khatzir (grass) which withereth.
90:6  In the boker it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the erev it is cut down, and drieth up.
90:7  For we are consumed by Thine anger, and by Thy chemah are we troubled.
90:8  Thou hast set avonoteinu before Thee, our secret sins in the ohr of Thy countenance.
90:9  For kol yameinu are passed away in Thy evrah (fury); we spend shaneinu (our years) like a sigh.
90:10  The 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.
90:11  Who has da’as of the oz (power) of Thine anger? Thy evrah is as great as Thy yirah (fear of, reverence owed G-d).
90:12  So teach us to number yameinu, that we may apply levav unto chochmah.
90:13  Shuvah, Hashem. Ad mosai? Have compassion on Thy avadim.
90:14  O satisfy us baboker with Thy chesed; that we may sing for joy and be glad kol yameinu (all our days).
90:15  Make us glad according to the days wherein Thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen ra’ah.
90:16  Let Thy work appear unto Thy avadim, and Thy glory unto their banim.
90:17  And 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.
