A Psalm of Moses (Psalm 90)-the Tale of our Years

For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past,
and as a watch in the night.
Thou hast set our iniquities before thee,
our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
....we spend our years as a tale that is told.
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.
So teach us to number our days,
that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.  
Psalm 90:4,8-10,12
