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...: Heb. As for the days of our years, in them are seventy years}

Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, {so is} thy wrath.

So teach {us} to number our days, that we may apply {our} hearts unto wisdom. {apply: Heb. cause to come}

Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.

O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
