Psalms 90:5-11

5Yet you sweep people away in the sleep of death— they are like the new grass of the morning:

6In the morning it springs up new, but by evening it is dry and withered.

7We are consumed by your anger and terrified by your indignation.

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

9All our days pass away under your wrath; we finish our years with a moan.

10Our days may come to seventy years, or eighty, if our strength endures; yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.

11If only we knew the power of your anger! Your wrath is as great as the fear that is your due.
