7. For we were consumed in Thine anger, And in Thy fury we have been troubled.
8. Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, Our hidden things at the light of Thy face,
9. For all our days pined away in Thy wrath, We consumed our years as a meditation.
10. Days of our years, in them [are] seventy years, And if, by reason of might, eighty years, Yet [is] their enlargement labour and vanity, For it hath been cut off hastily, and we fly away.
11. Who knoweth the power of Thine anger? And according to Thy fear--Thy wrath?
12. To number our days aright let [us] know, And we bring the heart to wisdom.
13. Turn back, O Jehovah, till when? And repent concerning Thy servants.
14. Satisfy us at morn [with] Thy kindness, And we sing and rejoice all our days.
15. Cause us to rejoice according to the days Wherein Thou hast afflicted us, The years we have seen evil.
16. Let Thy work appear unto Thy servants, And Thine honour on their sons.
