    5 ...

    6 In the morning it is green; in the evening it is cut down, and becomes dry.

    7 We are burned up by the heat of your passion, and troubled by your wrath.

    8 You have put our evil doings before you, our secret sins in the light of your face.

    9 For all our days have gone by in your wrath; our years come to an end like a breath.

    10 The 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.

    11 Who has knowledge of the power of your wrath, or who takes note of the weight of your passion?

    12 So give us knowledge of the number of our days, that we may get a heart of wisdom.

    13 Come back, O Lord; how long? let your purpose for your servants be changed.
