You return humans to dust, saying: “Return, children of Adam.” In Your sight, a thousand years are but a yesterday that has passed, a watch in the night. People’s lives flow by as in dreams: fresh grass at daybreak; at daybreak newly sprouted, dried up and withered in the night. We are consumed by Your anger, terrified by Your fury. You set our sins before You, our secrets before the light of Your face. For all our days face Your wrath; our years end like a sigh. Seventy years are spent thus, or if we are given strength, eighty. Most of them filled with toil and fatigue; the years rush by quickly and we disappear. Who can realize the strength of Your anger? The fear of You matches Your wrath. Teach us to make our days count and so acquire a heart that is wise. Turn to us, Adonai; how long the wait? Comfort Your servants: at daybreak satisfy us with Your love and kindness, that we may sing with joy all of our days. Grant us days of happiness equal to those we suffered, the years we saw so much wrong. May Your servants see Your deeds; may Your glory be upon their children. May the peace of the Lord, our God, be with us; may the work of our hands last beyond us, and may the work of our hands be lasting.",
