Psalm 90:10-12

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁰Our lives last^[a] seventy years
or, if we are strong, eighty years.
Even the best of them are^[b] struggle and sorrow;
indeed, they pass quickly and we fly away.^(A)
¹¹Who understands the power of your anger?
Your wrath matches the fear that is due you.^(B)
¹²Teach us to number our days carefully
so that we may develop wisdom in our hearts.^[c]^(C)
