6 Thou hast carried them away like a flood; they are like a dream, like grass that grows in the morning, blooms and turns green in the morning, cuts and dries up in the evening;

7 for we perish from thy wrath, and from thy wrath we are troubled.

8 Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, and our secrets before the light of Thy countenance.

9 All our days have passed in thy wrath; We lose our years like a sound.

The 10 days of our years are seventy years, and with greater strength, eighty years; and the best time for them is work and sickness, for they pass quickly, and we fly.

11 Who knoweth the strength of thy wrath, and thy wrath according to the measure of thy fear?

12 Teach us to number our days in such a way, that we may acquire a wise heart.

13 Turn away, O Lord! As long as? Have compassion on Thy servants.

14 Feed us early with thy mercy, and we shall rejoice and be glad all our days.

15 Rejoice us for the days in which thou hast smitten us, for the years in which we have seen calamity.

16 Let Thy work be manifested upon Thy servants, and Thy glory upon their sons;

17 And let the LORD our God be well pleased with us, and in the work of our hands help us, in the work of our hands help us.

Psalm 90

[Song of Praise of David.]

1 He that dwelleth under the shelter of the Most High, under the shadow of the Almighty, resteth,

2 saith unto the Lord, My refuge and my refuge, my God, in whom I trust.

3 He will deliver you from the snare of the fisherman, from the deadly plague,

4 With His feathers He will overshadow you, and under His wings you will be safe; the shield and the hedge are His truth.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid of terrors in the night, of the arrow that flies by day,

6 A plague that walks in darkness, a pestilence that destroys at noonday.

7 A thousand shall fall beside thee, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but he will not come near you:
