⁵ You ^(D)sweep them away as with a flood; they are like ^(E)a dream,
    like ^(F)grass that is renewed in the morning:
⁶ in ^(G)the morning it flourishes and is renewed;
    in the evening it ^(H)fades and ^(I)withers.

⁷ For we are brought to an end by your anger;
    by your wrath we are dismayed.
⁸ You have ^(J)set our iniquities before you,
    our ^(K)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 (L)So teach us to number our days
    that we may get a heart of wisdom.

^(D)“The Lord is my helper;
    ^(E)I will not fear;
what can man do to me?”
