Psalm 90:12

Eternal God And Mortal Man

¹¹
Who understands the power of Your anger? [Who connects this brevity of life among us with Your judgment of sin?]
And Your wrath, [who connects it] with the [reverent] fear that is due You?
¹² 
So teach us to number our days,
That we may cultivate and bring to You a heart of wisdom. ¹³
Turn, O Lord [from Your fierce anger]; how long will it be?
Be compassionate toward Your servants—revoke Your sentence.

Let Us
