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.
