5 You carry us away like a flood;we last no longer than a dream.We are like weeds that sprout in the morning,
6 that grow and burst into bloom,then dry up and die in the evening.
7 We are destroyed by your anger;we are terrified by your fury.
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?
