10 The days of our life are seventy years,
    or perhaps eighty, if we are strong;
even then their span[a] is only toil and trouble;
    they are soon gone, and we fly away.

    Your wrath is as great as the fear that is due to you.
12 So teach us to count our days
    that we may gain a wise heart.
