Psalm 90:10-12

Contemporary English Version

^10 (A) We can expect seventy years,
or maybe eighty,
    if we are healthy,
but even our best years
    bring trouble and sorrow.
Suddenly our time is up,
    and we disappear.
¹¹ No one knows the full power
    of your furious anger,
but it is as great as the fear
    that we owe to you.
¹² Teach us to use wisely
    all the time we have.
