6 In the morning it blossoms and grows up; in the evening it is cut down and withers.
7 For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath we are troubled.
8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
9 For all our days decline because of thy wrath; we end our years according to the word.
10 The days of our years are seventy, and of the most valiant eighty years, yet their strength is labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
11 Who knows the power of thine anger? that thy wrath is not less than our fear.
12 Cause us to learn this that we might number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
