3 You return people to dust,saying, "Go back, humans,"
4 because in your perspective a thousand yearsare like yesterday past,like a short period during the night watch.
5 You sweep humans away like a dream,like grass that is renewed in the morning.
6 True, in the morning it thrives, renewed,but come evening it withers, all dried up.
7 Yes, we are wasting away because of your wrath;we are paralyzed with fear on account of your rage.
8 You put our sins right in front of you,set our hidden faults in the light from your face.
9 Yes, all our days slip away because of your fury;we finish up our years with a whimper.
