Psalms 90:9
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.
For all our days decline in Your fury; we finish our years with a sigh.
10 The length of our days is seventy years— or eighty if we are strong— yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.
11 Who knows the power of Your anger? Your wrath matches the fear You are due.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
