Psalms 90:7-11

Psalms 90

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

7For we are consumed by Your anger and terrified by Your wrath.

8You have set our iniquities before You, our secret sins in the light of Your presence.

9For all our days decline in Your fury; we finish our years with a sigh.

10The length of our days is seventy years—or eighty if we are strong—yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.

11Who knows the power of Your anger? Your wrath matches the fear You are due.
