Psalms 90:3-10

3You turn mortals back into dust and say, “Return, descendants of Adam.”

4Indeed, in your sight a thousand years are like a single day, like yesterday—already past— like an hour in the night.

5You sweep mortals away. They are a dream. They sprout again in the morning like cut grass.

6In the morning they blossom and sprout. In the evening they wither and dry up.

7Indeed, your anger consumes us. Your rage terrifies us.

8You have set our sins in front of you. You have put our secret sins in the light of your presence.

9Indeed, all our days slip away because of your fury. We live out our years like one ⌞long⌟ sigh.

10Each of us lives for 70 years— or even 80 if we are in good health. But the best of them ⌞bring⌟ trouble and misery. Indeed, they are soon gone, and we fly away.
