Psalms 90:3-10

3You make mankind return to the dust, and say, “Return, O people!”

4Yes, in your eyes a thousand years are like yesterday that quickly passes, or like one of the divisions of the nighttime.

5You bring their lives to an end and they “fall asleep.” In the morning they are like the grass that sprouts up;

6in the morning it glistens and sprouts up; at evening time it withers and dries up.

7Yes, we are consumed by your anger; we are terrified by your wrath.

8You are aware of our sins; you even know about our hidden sins.

9Yes, throughout all our days we experience your raging fury; the years of our lives pass quickly, like a sigh.

10The days of our lives add up to seventy years, or eighty, if one is especially strong. But even one’s best years are marred by trouble and oppression. Yes, they pass quickly and we fly away.
