Psalms 90:9-16

⁹For all our days pined away in Thy wrath, We consumed our years as a meditation.

¹⁰Days of our years, in them are seventy years, And if, by reason of might, eighty years, Yet is their enlargement labour and vanity, For it hath been cut off hastily, and we fly away.

¹¹Who knoweth the power of Thine anger? And according to Thy fear — Thy wrath?

¹²To number our days aright let us know, And we bring the heart to wisdom.

¹³Turn back, O Jehovah, till when? And repent concerning Thy servants.

¹⁴Satisfy us at morn with Thy kindness, And we sing and rejoice all our days.

¹⁵Cause us to rejoice according to the days Wherein Thou hast afflicted us, The years we have seen evil.

¹⁶Let Thy work appear unto Thy servants, And Thine honour on their sons.
