Psalms 90:3-10

3You return man to dust and say, "Return, O children of man!"

4For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night.

5You sweep them away as with a flood; they are like a dream, like grass that is renewed in the morning:

6in the morning it flourishes and is renewed; in the evening it fades and withers.

7For we are brought to an end by your anger; by your wrath we are dismayed.

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

9For all our days pass away under your wrath; we bring our years to an end like a sigh.

10The years of our life are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty; yet their span is but toil and trouble; they are soon gone, and we fly away.
