3. You tell us to return to what we were;you change us back to dust.
4. A thousand years to you are like one day;they are like yesterday, already gone,like a short hour in the night.
5. You carry us away like a flood;we last no longer than a dream.We are like weeds that sprout in the morning,
6. that grow and burst into bloom,then dry up and die in the evening.
7. We are destroyed by your anger;we are terrified by your fury.
8. You place our sins before you,our secret sins where you can see them.
9. Our life is cut short by your anger;it fades away like a whisper.
10. Seventy years is all we have —eighty years, if we are strong;yet all they bring us is trouble and sorrow;life is soon over, and we are gone.
