10 The years of our life are seventy,

or even by reason of strength eighty;

yet their span is but toil and trouble;

they are soon gone, and we fly away.

10 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.

10 Seventy years are given to us!

Some even live to eighty.

But even the best years are filled with pain and trouble;

soon they disappear, and we fly away.

10 The days of our lives are seventy years;

And if by reason of strength they are eighty years,

Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow;

For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

10 Our lifetime is seventy years

or, if we are strong, eighty years.

But the years are full of hard work and pain.

They pass quickly, and then we are gone.

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.

10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if, by reason of strength, they be fourscore years, yet their pride is labour and vanity, for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

10 Each of us lives for 70 years— 

or even 80 if we are in good health. 

But the best of them⸤bring⸥ trouble and misery. 

Indeed, they are soon gone, and we fly away. 

10 Our lives last seventy years

or, if we are strong, eighty years.

Even the best of them are struggle and sorrow;

or if by strength eighty years, and their pride is trouble and disaster,

for it passes quickly and we fly away.

Or we may live to be 80, if we stay healthy.

But all that time is filled with trouble and sorrow.

The years quickly pass, and we are gone.

10 As for the days of our life, they contain seventy years,

Or if due to strength, eighty years,

Yet their pride is but labor and sorrow;

For soon it is gone and we fly away.
