3 You turn man to destruction,And say, “Return, O children of men.”
4 For a thousand years in Your sightAre like yesterday when it is past,And like a watch in the night.
5 You carry them away like a flood;They are like a sleep.In the morning they are like grass which grows up:
6 In the morning it flourishes and grows up;In the evening it is cut down and withers.
7 For we have been consumed by Your anger,And by Your wrath we are terrified.
8 You have set our iniquities before You,Our secret sins in the light of Your countenance.
9 For all our days have passed away in Your wrath;We finish our years like a sigh.
