verse 5 Thou dost them bear away like as a flood that overflows: Like sleep they are, and as the grass, which in the morning grows verse 6 Which in the morn is flourishing, and springing up doth rise; Which is cut down at evening, it withereth up likewise.
verse 7 Because by reason of thine ire we wasted are away; And by thine angers burning fire we speedily decay. verse 8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee in thy sight: Our secret evils are likewise before thy faces light.
verse 9 Because that in thy fury all our days away are rolled: We spend away our years withal like as a tale that's told. verse 10 The time is threescore years and ten, which our years days contain: And if through' strength they fourscore been, •heir strength is grief and pain.
