4 For an elef shanim in Thy sight are but as yom etmol (yesterday) when it is past, and as an ashmurah (watch, division of time) in the lailah.
5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sheinah (sleep); in the boker they are like khatzir (grass) which withereth.
6 In the boker it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the erev it is cut down, and drieth up.
7 For we are consumed by Thine anger, and by Thy chemah are we troubled.
8 Thou hast set avonoteinu before Thee, our secret sins in the ohr of Thy countenance.
9 For kol yameinu are passed away in Thy evrah (fury); we spend shaneinu (our years) like a sigh.
10 The yamim of shnoteinu (our years, life) are threescore shanah and ten; and if by reason of gevurot they are fourscore shanah, yet is their boast amal (trouble, toil) and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
