Psalm 90:9-11
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
9 Our life ebbs away under your wrath;(A)
our years end like a sigh.
10 Seventy is the sum of our years,
or eighty, if we are strong;
Most of them are toil and sorrow;
they pass quickly, and we are gone.
11 Who comprehends the strength of your anger?
Your wrath matches the fear it inspires.
