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.
11 Who knows the power of Your anger? Your fury leads to awe of you.
