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.
11Who can know the power of your anger? Who understands your fury so you can be shown reverence?
12Teach us to value every one of our days so we can live wisely!
13Lord, how long will it be before you come back to us and have pity on us your servants?
