11Lord, nobody knows all the power of your anger. It is your anger that causes people to be afraid of you. 12Teach us to count carefully the days of our short lives. Then we will be wise in how we live. Lord, return to help us! How long will you be angry with us? Please be kind to us, your servants! 14Show your faithful love to us every morning. Then we will sing with joy, and we will be happy for as long as we live. 15For many years you have sent trouble to us. Now, please make us happy for as many years as you have given us pain.
