5 Yet you sweep people away in the sleep of death—

they are like the new grass of the morning:

6 In the morning it springs up new,

but by evening it is dry and withered.

7 We are consumed by your anger

and terrified by your indignation.

8 You have set our iniquities before you,

our secret sins in the light of your presence.

9 All our days pass away under your wrath;

we finish our years with a moan.

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 by thine anger, And by 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 spend our years as a tale that is told.

5 You sweep people away like dreams that disappear.

They are like grass that springs up in the morning.

6 In the morning it blooms and flourishes,

but by evening it is dry and withered.

7 We wither beneath your anger;

we are overwhelmed by your fury.

8 You spread out our sins before you—

our secret sins—and you see them all.

9 We live our lives beneath your wrath,

ending our years with a groan.

5 You carry them away like a flood;

They are like a sleep.

In the morning they are like grass which grows up:

6 In the morning it flourishes and grows up;

In the evening it is cut down and withers.

7 For we have been consumed by Your anger,

And by Your wrath we are terrified.

8 You have set our iniquities before You,

Our secret sins in the light of Your countenance.

9 For all our days have passed away in Your wrath;

We finish our years like a sigh.

5 While people sleep, you take their lives.

They are like grass that grows up in the morning.

6 In the morning they are fresh and new,

but by evening they dry up and die.

7 We are destroyed by your anger;

we are terrified by your hot anger.

8 You have put the evil we have done right in front of you;

you clearly see our secret sins.

9 All our days pass while you are angry.

Our years end with a moan.

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.

5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass that 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 by thine anger, and by thy fury 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 pass away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a passing thought.

5 You sweep mortals away. 

They are a dream. 

They sprout again in the morning like cut grass. 

6 In the morning they blossom and sprout. 

In the evening they wither and dry up. 

7 Indeed, your anger consumes us. 

Your rage terrifies us. 

8 You have set our sins in front of you. 

You have put our secret sins in the light of your presence. 

9 Indeed, all our days slip away because of your fury. 

We live out our years like one ⸤long⸥ sigh. 

5 You end their lives; they sleep.

They are like grass that grows in the morning—

6 in the morning it sprouts and grows;

by evening it withers and dries up.

7 For we are consumed by Your anger;

we are terrified by Your wrath.

8 You have set our unjust ways before You,

our secret sins in the light of Your presence.

9 For all our days ebb away under Your wrath;

we end our years like a sigh.

5 You sweep them away; they are like a dream,

like grass that is renewed in the morning;

6 in the morning it flourishes and is renewed;

in the evening it fades and withers.

7 For we are consumed by your anger;

by your wrath we are overwhelmed.

8 You have set our iniquities before you,

our secret sins in the light of your countenance.

9 For all our days pass away under your wrath;

our years come to an end like a sigh.

5 You sweep them away like a flood.

They fall asleep.

In the morning they are like grass that sprouts anew.

6 In the morning it blossoms and sprouts anew;

by evening it withers and dries up.

7 For we are brought to an end by your anger,

and we hasten off by your wrath.

8 You have put our iniquities before you,

our hidden sins into the light of your countenance.

9 For all of our days dwindle away in your rage;

we complete our years like a sigh.

5 You sweep people away, and they die.

They are like new grass that grows in the morning.

6 In the morning it springs up new,

but by evening it’s all dried up.

7 Your anger destroys us.

Your burning anger terrifies us.

8 You have put our sins right in front of you.

You have placed our secret sins where you can see them clearly.

9 You have been angry with us all of our days.

We groan as we come to the end of our lives.

5 You have swept them away like a flood, they fall asleep;

In the morning they are like grass which sprouts anew.

6 In the morning it flourishes and sprouts anew;

Toward evening it fades and withers away.

7 For we have been consumed by Your anger

And by Your wrath we have been dismayed.

8 You have placed our iniquities before You,

Our secret sins in the light of Your presence.

9 For all our days have declined in Your fury;

We have finished our years like a sigh.
