3 Thou turnest man unto a bruised thing, And sayest, Turn  back, ye sons of men.
         
                                
                        4 For a thousand years in Thine eyes [are] as yesterday, For  it passeth on, yea, a watch by night.
         
                                
                        5 Thou hast inundated them, they are asleep, In the morning  as grass he changeth.
         
                                
                        6 In the morning it flourisheth, and hath changed, At evening  it is cut down, and hath withered.
         
                                
                        7 For we were consumed in Thine anger, And in Thy fury we  have been troubled.
         
                                
                        8 Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, Our hidden things  at the light of Thy face,
         
                                
                        9 For all our days pined away in Thy wrath, We consumed our  years as a meditation.
