1A prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, You have been our dwelling place through all generations. 1תְּפִלָּה֮ לְמֹשֶׁ֪ה אִֽישׁ־ הָאֱלֹ֫הִ֥ים אֲ‍ֽדֹנָ֗י מָע֣וֹן אַ֭תָּה הָיִ֥יתָ לָּ֗נוּ בְּדֹ֣ר וָדֹֽר׃
2Before the mountains were born, or You brought forth the earth and world, from everlasting to everlasting, You are God. 2בְּטֶ֤רֶם ׀ הָ֘רִ֤ים יֻלָּ֗דוּ וַתְּח֣וֹלֵֽל אֶ֣רֶץ וְתֵבֵ֑ל וּֽמֵעוֹלָ֥ם עַד־ ע֝וֹלָ֗ם אַתָּ֥ה אֵֽל׃
3You return man to dust and say, “Return, O sons of mortals.” 3תָּשֵׁ֣ב אֱ֭נוֹשׁ עַד־ דַּכָּ֑א וַ֝תֹּ֗אמֶר שׁ֣וּבוּ בְנֵי־ אָדָֽם׃
4For in Your sight a thousand years are but a day that passes, or a watch of the night. 4כִּ֤י אֶ֪לֶף שָׁנִ֡ים בְּֽעֵינֶ֗יךָ כְּי֣וֹם אֶ֭תְמוֹל כִּ֣י יַעֲבֹ֑ר וְאַשְׁמוּרָ֥ה בַלָּֽיְלָה׃
5You whisk them away in their sleep; they are like the new grass of the morning— 5זְ֭רַמְתָּם שֵׁנָ֣ה יִהְי֑וּ בַּ֝בֹּ֗קֶר כֶּחָצִ֥יר יַחֲלֹֽף׃
6in the morning it springs up new; by evening it fades and withers. 6בַּ֭בֹּקֶר יָצִ֣יץ וְחָלָ֑ף לָ֝עֶ֗רֶב יְמוֹלֵ֥ל וְיָבֵֽשׁ׃
7For we are consumed by Your anger and terrified by Your wrath. 7כִּֽי־ כָלִ֥ינוּ בְאַפֶּ֑ךָ וּֽבַחֲמָתְךָ֥ נִבְהָֽלְנוּ׃
8You have set our iniquities before You, our secret [sins] in the light of Your presence. 8שת [שַׁתָּ֣ה] (עֲוֺנֹתֵ֣ינוּ) לְנֶגְדֶּ֑ךָ עֲ֝לֻמֵ֗נוּ לִמְא֥וֹר פָּנֶֽיךָ׃
9For all our days decline in Your fury; we finish our years with a sigh. 9כִּ֣י כָל־ יָ֭מֵינוּ פָּנ֣וּ בְעֶבְרָתֶ֑ךָ כִּלִּ֖ינוּ שָׁנֵ֣ינוּ כְמוֹ־ הֶֽגֶה׃
10The length of our days is seventy years— or eighty if we are strong— yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away. 10יְמֵֽי־ שְׁנוֹתֵ֨ינוּ בָהֶ֥ם שִׁבְעִ֪ים שָׁנָ֡ה וְאִ֤ם בִּגְבוּרֹ֨ת ׀ שְׁמ֘וֹנִ֤ים שָׁנָ֗ה וְ֭רָהְבָּם עָמָ֣ל וָאָ֑וֶן כִּי־ גָ֥ז חִ֝֗ישׁ וַנָּעֻֽפָה׃
11Who knows the power of Your anger? Your wrath matches the fear You are due. 11מִֽי־ י֭וֹדֵעַ עֹ֣ז אַפֶּ֑ךָ וּ֝כְיִרְאָתְךָ֗ עֶבְרָתֶֽךָ׃
12So teach us to number our days, that we may present a heart of wisdom. 12לִמְנ֣וֹת יָ֭מֵינוּ כֵּ֣ן הוֹדַ֑ע וְ֝נָבִ֗א לְבַ֣ב חָכְמָֽה׃
13Return, O LORD! How long will it be? Have compassion on Your servants. 13שׁוּבָ֣ה יְ֭הוָה עַד־ מָתָ֑י וְ֝הִנָּחֵ֗ם עַל־ עֲבָדֶֽיךָ׃
14Satisfy us in the morning with Your loving devotion, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days. 14שַׂבְּעֵ֣נוּ בַבֹּ֣קֶר חַסְדֶּ֑ךָ וּֽנְרַנְּנָ֥ה וְ֝נִשְׂמְחָ֗ה בְּכָל־ יָמֵֽינוּ׃
15Make us glad for as many days as You have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen evil. 15שַׂ֭מְּחֵנוּ כִּימ֣וֹת עִנִּיתָ֑נוּ שְׁ֝נ֗וֹת רָאִ֥ינוּ רָעָֽה׃
16May Your work be shown to Your servants, and Your splendor to their children. 16יֵרָאֶ֣ה אֶל־ עֲבָדֶ֣יךָ פָעֳלֶ֑ךָ וַ֝הֲדָרְךָ֗ עַל־ בְּנֵיהֶֽם׃
17May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish for us the work of our hands— establish the work of our hands! 17וִיהִ֤י ׀ נֹ֤עַם אֲדֹנָ֥י אֱלֹהֵ֗ינוּ עָ֫לֵ֥ינוּ וּמַעֲשֵׂ֣ה יָ֭דֵינוּ כּוֹנְנָ֥ה עָלֵ֑ינוּ וּֽמַעֲשֵׂ֥ה יָ֝דֵ֗ינוּ כּוֹנְנֵֽהוּ׃
