You have (A)placed our guilty deeds before You,
Our (B)hidden sins in the light of Your presence.
For (C)all our days have dwindled away in Your fury;
We have finished our years like a [a]sigh.
10 As for the days of our [b]life, [c]they contain seventy years,
Or if due to strength, (D)eighty years,
Yet their pride is only (E)trouble and tragedy;
For it quickly passes, and we (F)disappear.
11 Who [d]understands the (G)power of Your anger
And Your fury, according to the (H)fear [e]that is due You?
12 So (I)teach us to number our days,
That we may [f](J)present to You a heart of wisdom.
