³ You turn us^[a] back to dust,
    and say, “Turn back, you mortals.”
⁴ For a thousand years in your sight
    are like yesterday when it is past,
    or like a watch in the night.

⁵ You sweep them away; they are like a dream,
    like grass that is renewed in the morning;
⁶ in the morning it flourishes and is renewed;
    in the evening it fades and withers.

¹³ Turn, O Lord! How long?
    Have compassion on your servants!
