9For all our days have gone by in your wrath; our years come to an end like a breath.
10The measure of our life is seventy years; and if through strength it may be eighty years, its pride is only trouble and sorrow, for it comes to an end and we are quickly gone.
11Who has knowledge of the power of your wrath, or who takes note of the weight of your passion?
12So give us knowledge of the number of our days, that we may get a heart of wisdom.
13Come back, O Lord; how long? let your purpose for your servants be changed.
14In the morning give us your mercy in full measure; so that we may have joy and delight all our days.
15Make us glad in reward for the days of our sorrow, and for the years in which we have seen evil.
