4 To you, a thousand yearsis like the passing of a day.It passes like an hour in the night.
5 While people sleep, you take their lives.They are like weeds that grow in the morning.
6 In the morning they are fresh and new.But by evening they dry up and die.
7 We are destroyed by your anger.We are terrified by your hot anger.
8 You have put the evil we have done right in front of you.You clearly see our secret sins.
9 All our days pass while you are angry.Our years end with a moan.
10 Our lifetime is 70 years.If we are strong, we may live to be 80.But the years are full of hard work and pain.They pass quickly, and then we are gone.
