Psalms 90:6
4 For in Your sight a thousand years are but a day that passes, or a watch of the night.
5 You whisk them away in their sleep; they are like the new grass of the morning—
in the morning it springs up new, but by evening it fades and withers.
7 For we are consumed by Your anger and terrified by Your wrath.
8 You have set our iniquities before You, our secret sins in the light of Your presence.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
