For we are consumed by Your anger;
we are terrified by Your wrath.(A)
You have set our unjust ways before You,
our secret sins in the light of Your presence.(B)
For all our days ebb away under Your wrath;
we end our years like a sigh.(C)
10 Our 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.(D)
11 Who understands the power of Your anger?
Your wrath matches the fear that is due You.(E)
