4 For a thousand years in Your sight are like a day just passing by, or like a watch in the night.
5 You sweep them away in their sleep. In the morning they are like sprouting grass—
6 in the morning it flourishes and springs up, by evening it withers and dries up.
7 For we are consumed by Your anger and terrified by Your wrath.
8 You have set our iniquities before You, our secret sins in the light of Your presence.
9 For all our days have passed away under Your wrath. We spent our years like a sigh.
10 The span of our years is seventy —or with strength, eighty— yet at best they are trouble and sorrow. For they are soon gone, and we fly away.
