Psalms 90:4-11

⁴For a thousand years in thy sight Are but as yesterday when it is past, And as a watch in the night.

⁵Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: In the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

⁶In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; In the evening it is cut down, and withereth.

⁷For we are consumed in thine anger, And in thy wrath are we troubled.

⁸Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, Our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.

⁹For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: We bring our years to an end as a sigh.

¹⁰The days of our years are threescore years and ten, Or even by reason of strength fourscore years; Yet is their pride but labor and sorrow; For it is soon gone, and we fly away.

¹¹Who knoweth the power of thine anger, And thy wrath according to the fear that is due unto thee?
