7. For we are consumed by thy anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
8. Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
9. For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years, as a tale that is told.
10. The days of our years are seventy years; and if by reason of strength they are eighty years, yet is their strength labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
11. Who knoweth the power of thy anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.
12. So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts to wisdom.
13. Return, O LORD, how long? and repent thou concerning thy servants.
14. O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
15. Make us glad according to the days in which thou hast afflicted us, and the years in which we have seen evil.
