Psalms 90:8-1964 in the Bible in Basic English reads: “You have put our evil doings before you, our secret sins in the light of your face. For all our days have gone by in your wrath; our years come to an end like a breath. 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. Who has knowledge of the power of your wrath, or who takes note of the weight of your passion? So give us knowledge of the number of our days, that we may get a heart of wisdom. Come back, O Lord; how long? let your purpose for your servants be changed. In the morning give us your mercy in full measure; so that we may have joy and delight all our days. Make us glad in reward for the days of our sorrow, and for the years in which we have seen evil. Make your work clear to your servants, and your glory to their children. Let the pleasure of the Lord our God be on us: O Lord, give strength to the work of our hands.”
