8 Our sins thou and iniquitiesdost in thy presence place,And sett'st our secret faults beforethe brightness of thy face.
9 For in thine anger all our daysdo pass on to an end;And as a tale that hath been told,so we our years do spend.
10 Threescore and ten years do sum upour days and years, we see;Or, if, by reason of more strength,in some fourscore they be:Yet doth the strength of such old menbut grief and labour prove;For it is soon cut off,and we fly hence, and soon remove.
11 Who knows the power of thy wrath?according to thy fear
12 So is thy wrath: Lord, teach thou usour end in mind to bear;And so to count our days, that weour hearts may still applyTo learn thy wisdom and thy truth,that we may live thereby.
13 Turn yet again to us, O Lord,how long thus shall it be?Let it repent thee now for thosethat servants are to thee.
14 O with thy tender mercies, Lord,us early satisfy;So we rejoice shall all our days,and still be glad in thee.
