New Testament

Psalm 89:5-12 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

5. which was held for nothing: so their years shall be.

6. In the morning, he may pass away like grass; in the morning, he may flower and pass away. In the evening, he will fall, and harden, and become dry.

7. For, at your wrath, we have withered away, and we have been disturbed by your fury.

8. You have placed our iniquities in your sight, our age in the illumination of your countenance.

9. For all our days have faded away, and at your wrath, we have fainted. Our years will be considered to be like a spider's web.

10. The days of our years in them are seventy years. But in the powerful, they are eighty years, and more of these are with hardship and sorrow. For mildness has overwhelmed us, and we shall be corrected.

11. Who knows the power of your wrath? And, before fear, can your wrath

12. be numbered? So make known your right hand, along with men learned in heart, in wisdom.
