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 by thine anger, And by 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 spend our years as a tale that is told.
