In context

9For all our days are gone, And we have passed away in thy wrath: Our years have spun out their tale as a spider.

10As for the days of our years, in them are seventy years; And if men should be in strength, eighty years: And the greater part of them would be labor and trouble; For weakness overtakes us, and we shall be chastened.

— Psalms 89:11 —

12And who knows how to number his days Because of the fear of thy wrath? So manifest thy right hand, And those that are instructed in wisdom in the heart.

13Return, O Lord, how long? And be entreated concerning thy servants.
