You turn people back to dust,
    saying, “Return to dust, you mortals.”(A)
A thousand years in your sight
    are like a day that has just gone by,
    or like a watch in the night.(B)
Yet you sweep people away(C) in the sleep of death—
    they are like the new grass of the morning:
In the morning it springs up new,
    but by evening it is dry and withered.(D)

We are consumed by your anger
    and terrified by your indignation.
You have set our iniquities before you,
    our secret sins(E) in the light of your presence.(F)
All our days pass away under your wrath;
    we finish our years with a moan.(G)
10 Our days may come to seventy years,(H)
    or eighty,(I) if our strength endures;
yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow,(J)
    for they quickly pass, and we fly away.(K)
