6 in (D)the morning it flourishes and is renewed;

by your wrath we are dismayed.
8 You have (G)set our iniquities before you,
our (H)secret sins in the light of your presence.
9 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[a] is but toil and trouble;
they are soon gone, and we fly away.
11 Who considers the power of your anger,
and your wrath according to the fear of you?
12 (I)So teach us to number our days
that we may get a heart of wisdom.
