Psalms 90:3-10
3
You turn men back to dust,
saying, “Return to dust, O sons of men.”
4
For a thousand years in your sight
are like a day that has just gone by,
or like a watch in the night.
5
You sweep men away in the sleep of death;
they are like the new grass of the morning—
6
though in the morning it springs up new,
by evening it is dry and withered.
7
We are consumed by your anger
and terrified by your indignation.
8
You have set our iniquities before you,
our secret sins in the light of your presence.
9
All our days pass away under your wrath;
we finish our years with a moan.
10
The length of our days is seventy years—
or eighty, if we have the strength;
yet their span is but trouble and sorrow,
for they quickly pass, and we fly away.
