9By reason of thine anger all our days vanish away; We spend our years like a thought.
10The days of our life are threescore years and ten, And, by reason of strength, may be fourscore years: Yet is the pride of them weariness and sorrow; For it vanisheth swiftly, and we fly away.
11Yet who attendeth to the power of thine anger? Who with due reverence regardeth thine indignation?
12Teach us so to number our days, That we may apply our hearts to wisdom!
13Desist, O LORD! How long—? Have compassion upon thy servants!
