Psalms 90:9

Yes, ¹  throughout all our days we experience your raging fury; ²  the years of our lives pass quickly, like a sigh. ³ 

All our days pass away under your wrath; we finish our years with a moan.

For all our days have declined in Your fury; We have finished our years like a sigh.

We live our lives beneath your wrath. We end our lives with a groan.

All we can remember is that frown on your face. Is that all we're ever going to get?

For all our days have gone by in your wrath; our years come to an end like a breath.

For all our days pass away under your wrath; our years come to an end like a sigh.

For all our days have passed away in Your wrath; We finish our years like a sigh.

Yes, ¹  throughout all our days we experience your raging fury; ²  the years of our lives pass quickly, like a sigh. ³ 

¹ tn Or “for.”

² tn Heb “all our days pass by in your anger.”

³ tn Heb “we finish our years like a sigh.” In Ezek 2:10 the word הֶגֶה (hegeh) elsewhere refers to a grumbling or moaning sound. Here a brief sigh or moan is probably in view. If so, the simile pictures one’s lifetime as transient. Another option is that the simile alludes to the weakness that characteristically overtakes a person at the end of one’s lifetime. In this case the phrase could be translated, “we end our lives with a painful moan.”
