8 You place our sins before you,our secret sins where you can see them.
9 Our life is cut short by your anger;it fades away like a whisper.
10 Seventy years is all we have —eighty years, if we are strong;yet all they bring us is trouble and sorrow;life is soon over, and we are gone.
11 Who has felt the full power of your anger?Who knows what fear your fury can bring?
12 Teach us how short our life is,so that we may become wise.
13 How much longer will your anger last?Have pity, O Lord, on your servants!
14 Fill us each morning with your constant love,so that we may sing and be glad all our life.
