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.
10 We live at best to be seventy years old,maybe eighty, if we’re strong.But their duration brings hard work and troublebecause they go by so quickly.And then we fly off.
