Psalm 90:7-11
New King James Version
7 For we have been consumed by Your anger,
And by Your wrath we are terrified.
8 (A)You have set our iniquities before You,
Our (B)secret sins in the light of Your countenance.
9 For all our days have passed away in Your wrath;
We finish our years like a sigh.
10 The days of our lives are seventy years;
And if by reason of strength they are eighty years,
Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow;
For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
11 Who knows the power of Your anger?
For as the fear of You, so is Your wrath.
Psalm 90:7-11
New International Version
7 We are consumed by your anger

9 All our days pass away under your wrath;
we finish our years with a moan.(C)
10 Our days may come to seventy years,(D)
or eighty,(E) if our strength endures;
yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow,(F)
for they quickly pass, and we fly away.(G)
11 If only we knew the power of your anger!
Your wrath(H) is as great as the fear that is your due.(I)
