Psalm 90:3-10
King James Version
Psalm 90:3-10
King James Version
3 Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.
4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.
6 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.
7 For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
9 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.
10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

Psalm 90:3-10
New International Version
Psalm 90:3-10
New International Version
3 You turn people back to dust,
saying, “Return to dust, you mortals.”(A)
4 A thousand years in your sight
are like a day that has just gone by,
or like a watch in the night.(B)
5 Yet you sweep people away(C) in the sleep of death—
they are like the new grass of the morning:
6 In the morning it springs up new,
but by evening it is dry and withered.(D)
7 We are consumed by your anger
and terrified by your indignation.
8 You have set our iniquities before you,
our secret sins(E) in the light of your presence.(F)
9 All our days pass away under your wrath;
we finish our years with a moan.(G)
10 Our days may come to seventy years,(H)
or eighty,(I) if our strength endures;
yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow,(J)
for they quickly pass, and we fly away.(K)
