10 As for the days of our [a]life, [b]they contain seventy years,
Or if due to might, (A)eighty years,
Yet their pride is but (B)labor and wickedness;
For soon it is gone and we (C)fly away.
11 Who knows the (D)power of Your anger
And Your fury, according to the (E)fear [c]that is due You?
12 [d]So (F)teach us to number our days,
That we may [e](G)present to You a heart of wisdom.
