Bible verse
For all our days decline in Your fury; we finish our years with a sigh.
Psalm 90:9 · BSB
The verses around it, from Psalm 90.
5 You whisk them away in their sleep; they are like the new grass of the morning—
6 in the morning it springs up new, but by evening it fades and withers.
7 For we are consumed by Your anger and terrified by Your wrath.
8 You have set our iniquities before You, our secret sins in the light of Your presence.
9 For all our days decline in Your fury; we finish our years with a sigh.
10 The 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.
11 Who knows the power of Your anger? Your wrath matches the fear You are due.
12 So teach us to number our days, that we may present a heart of wisdom.
13 Return, O LORD! How long will it be? Have compassion on Your servants.
