Psalms 90:5-11

5You have swept them away like a flood, they fall asleep [forgotten as soon as they are gone]; In the morning they are like grass which grows anew—

6In the morning it flourishes and springs up; In the evening it wilts and withers away.

7For we have been consumed by Your anger And by Your wrath we have been terrified.

8You have placed our wickedness before you, Our secret sins [which we tried to conceal, You have placed] in the [revealing] light of Your presence.

9For all our days pass away in Your wrath; We have finished our years like a whispered sigh.

10The days of our life are seventy years— Or even, if because of strength, eighty years; Yet their pride [in additional years] is only labor and sorrow, For it is soon gone and we fly away.

11Who understands the power of Your anger? [Who connects this brevity of life among us with Your judgment of sin?] And Your wrath, [who connects it] with the [reverent] fear that is due You?
