4 A thousand years in your sightare like a day that has just gone by,or like a watch in the night.
5 Yet you sweep people away in the sleep of death –they are like the new grass of the morning:
6 In the morning it springs up new,but by evening it is dry and withered.
7 We are consumed by your angerand terrified by your indignation.
8 You have set our iniquities before you,our secret sins in the light of your presence.
9 All our days pass away under your wrath;we finish our years with a moan.
10 Our days may come to seventy years,or eighty, if our strength endures;yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow,for they quickly pass, and we fly away.
