Psalms 90:8-16

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.

¹⁰The days of our years are threescore years and ten; And if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, Yet is their strength labour and sorrow; For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

¹¹Who knoweth the power of thine anger? Even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.

¹²So teach us to number our days, That we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

¹³Return, O Lord, how long? And let it repent thee concerning thy servants.

¹⁴O satisfy us early with thy mercy; That we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

¹⁵Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, And the years wherein we have seen evil.

¹⁶Let thy work appear unto thy servants, And thy glory unto their children.
