10 As for the days of our [a]life, [b]they contain seventy years,
Or if due to strength, (A)eighty years,
Yet their pride is only (B)trouble and tragedy;
For it quickly passes, and we (C)disappear.
11 Who [c]understands the (D)power of Your anger
And Your fury, according to the (E)fear [d]that is due You?
12 So (F)teach us to number our days,
That we may [e](G)present to You a heart of wisdom.

13 Do (H)return, Lord; (I)how long will it be?
And [f]be (J)sorry for Your servants.
14 (K)Satisfy us in the morning with Your graciousness,
That we may (L)sing for joy and rejoice all our days.
15 (M)Make us glad [g]according to the days You have afflicted us,
And the (N)years we have seen [h]evil.
16 Let Your (O)work appear to Your servants
And Your (P)majesty [i]to their children.
17 May the (Q)kindness of the Lord our God be upon us;
And [j](R)confirm for us the work of our hands;
Yes, [k]confirm the work of our hands.
