ASV(i)
3 Thou turnest man to destruction,
And sayest, Return, ye children of men. 4 For a thousand years in thy sight
Are but as yesterday when it is past,
And as a watch in the night. 5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep:
In the morning they are like grass which groweth up. 6 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up;
In the evening it is cut down, and withereth. 7 For we are consumed in thine anger,
And in thy wrath are we troubled. 8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee,
Our secret sins in the light of thy countenance. 9 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath:
We bring our years to an end as a sigh. 10 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.
