For all our days pass away under thy wrath, our years come to an end like a sigh.
Let them be like chaff before the wind, with the angel of the Lord driving them on!
“Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear to my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears! For I am thy passing guest, a sojourner, like all my fathers.
Behold, thou hast made my days a few handbreadths, and my lifetime is as nothing in thy sight. Surely every man stands as a mere breath! Selah
So he made their days vanish like a breath, and their years in terror.
For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night.
