5You bring people's lives to a sudden end, like dreams that vanish. They are like grass that grows up in the morning—
6it sprouts in the morning, fresh and new, but by the evening it is withered and dead.
7We are burned up by your anger, terrified by your fury.
8You have set out our sins before you—our secret sins are visible in the light of your presence.
9Our lives fade away under your anger, coming to an end as quickly as a sigh.
10We live for seventy years—eighty if we have the strength. But even in the prime of life all that we have is hardship and suffering. Soon our lives are over and we're gone.
