You return man to dust
    and say, (A)“Return, (B)O children of man!”[a]
For (C)a thousand years in your sight
    are but as (D)yesterday when it is past,
    or as (E)a watch in the night.

You (F)sweep them away as with a flood; they are like (G)a dream,
    like (H)grass that is renewed in the morning:
in (I)the morning it flourishes and is renewed;
    in the evening it (J)fades and (K)withers.

For we are brought to an end by your anger;
    by your wrath we are dismayed.
You have (L)set our iniquities before you,
    our (M)secret sins in the light of your presence.

For all our days pass away under your wrath;
    we bring our years to an end like a sigh.
10 The years of our life are seventy,
    or even by reason of strength eighty;
yet their span[b] is but toil and trouble;
    they are soon gone, and we fly away.
