Psalms 90:3-10

3You return mankind to the dust, saying, “Return, descendants of Adam.”

4For in your sight a thousand years are like yesterday that passes by, like a few hours of the night.

5You end their lives; they sleep. They are like grass that grows in the morning —

6in the morning it sprouts and grows; by evening it withers and dries up.

7For we are consumed by your anger; we are terrified by your wrath.

8You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.

9For all our days ebb away under your wrath; we end our years like a sigh.

10Our lives last seventy years or, if we are strong, eighty years. Even the best of them are struggle and sorrow; indeed, they pass quickly and we fly away.
