90:10 The days of our lives add up to seventy years, 1
or eighty, if one is especially strong. 2
But even one’s best years are marred by trouble and oppression. 3
Yes, 4 they pass quickly 5 and we fly away. 6
90:11 Who can really fathom the intensity of your anger? 7
Your raging fury causes people to fear you. 8
90:12 So teach us to consider our mortality, 9
so that we might live wisely. 10
90:13 Turn back toward us, O Lord!
How long must this suffering last? 11
Have pity on your servants! 12
90:14 Satisfy us in the morning 13 with your loyal love!
Then we will shout for joy and be happy 14 all our days!
90:15 Make us happy in proportion to the days you have afflicted us,
in proportion to the years we have experienced 15 trouble!
