Psalms 90:9-16

⁹Our life passes away under your wrath; our years quickly pass like a sigh.

¹⁰Our years are seventy, or even eighty if we are healthy; but even our best years are marked by trouble and sorrow. Yes, they pass quickly, and we fly away.

¹¹Who knows the intensity of your anger, and your wrath that is equal to the fear of you?

¹²So teach us to consider our life so that we might live wisely.

¹³Turn back, Yahweh! How long will it be? Have pity on your servants.

¹⁴Satisfy us in the morning with your covenant faithfulness so that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

¹⁵Make us glad in proportion to the days you afflicted us and to the years we have experienced trouble.

¹⁶Let your servants see your work, and let our children see your majesty.
