3 Thou turnest man to destruction;and sayest, Return, ye children of men.
4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past,and as a watch in the night.
5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep:in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.
6 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up;in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.
7 For we are consumed by thine anger,and by thy wrath are we troubled.
8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee,our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
9 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath:we spend our years as a tale that is told.
