Our days may come to seventy years, or eighty, if our strength endures; yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away. If only we knew the power of your anger! Your wrath is as great as the fear that is your due. Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
Your wrath is as great as the fear that is your due
Psalm 7:11 God is a righteous judge, a God who displays his wrath every day.
Psalm 76:7 It is you alone who are to be feared. Who can stand before you when you are angry?
Teach us to number our days
Psalm 39:4-5 "Show me, LORD, my life's end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting my life is. You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before you. Everyone is but a breath, even those who seem secure."
Psalm 139:16 Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
Proverbs 16:9 In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps.
Proverbs 20:24 A person's steps are directed by the LORD. How then can anyone understand their own way?
