5. You have swept them away like a flood, they fall asleep; In the morning they are like grass which sprouts anew.
6. In the morning it flourishes and sprouts anew; Toward evening it fades and withers away.
7. For we have been consumed by Your anger And by Your wrath we have been dismayed.
8. You have placed our iniquities before You, Our secret sins in the light of Your presence.
9. For all our days have declined in Your fury; We have finished our years like a sigh.
10. As for the days of our life, they contain seventy years, Or if due to strength, eighty years, Yet their pride is but labor and sorrow; For soon it is gone and we fly away.
11. Who understands the power of Your anger And Your fury, according to the fear that is due You?
12. So teach us to number our days, That we may present to You a heart of wisdom.
13. Do return, O Lord; how long will it be? And be sorry for Your servants.
