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!
14Satisfy us speedily with thy mercy, That we may rejoice and be glad all our days!
15Make us glad according to the time in which thou hast afflicted us; According to the years in which we have seen adversity!
16Let thy deeds be known to thy servants, And thy glory to their children!
