10 Each of us lives for 70 years—
    or even 80 if we are in good health.
        But the best of them[a] bring trouble and misery.
            Indeed, they are soon gone, and we fly away.
11 Who fully understands the power of your anger?
    A person fears you more when he better understands your fury.[b]
12 Teach us to number each of our days
    so that we may grow in wisdom.
