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.
11 Who can comprehend the power of your anger?The honor that is due you corresponds to your wrath.
12 Teach us to number our daysso we can have a wise heart.
13 Come back to us, Lord!Please, quick!Have some compassion for your servants!
