NET Bible
"The days of our lives add up to seventy years, or eighty, if one is especially strong. But even one’s best years are marred by trouble and oppression. Yes, they pass quickly and we fly away."
— Psalms 90:10, NET Bible
“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.”
“The days of our years are threescore years and ten, Or even by reason of strength fourscore years; Yet is their pride but labor and sorrow; For it is soon gone, and we fly away. ”
“The days of our years are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty years; yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for it passes quickly, and we fly away.”
“There shall no evil come to thee: nor shall the scourge come near thy dwelling.”
“The measure of our life is seventy years; and if through strength it may be eighty years, its pride is only trouble and sorrow, for it comes to an end and we are quickly gone.”
“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.”
Yes, we are consumed by your anger; we are terrified by your wrath.
You are aware of our sins; you even know about our hidden sins.
Yes, throughout all our days we experience your raging fury; the years of our lives pass quickly, like a sigh.
The days of our lives add up to seventy years, or eighty, if one is especially strong. But even one’s best years are marred by trouble and oppression. Yes, they pass quickly and we fly away.
Who can really fathom the intensity of your anger? Your raging fury causes people to fear you.
So teach us to consider our mortality, so that we might live wisely.
Turn back toward us, O LORD! How long must this suffering last? Have pity on your servants!
