'Years' in the Bible

For my life is spent with sorrowAnd my years with sighing;My strength has failed because of my iniquity,And even my body has wasted away.

You will prolong the king’s life [adding days upon days];His years will be like many generations.

I have considered the ancient days,The years [of prosperity] of long, long ago.

And I said, “This is my grief,That the right hand of the Most High has changed [and His lovingkindness is withheld].”

Therefore He consumed their days like a breath [in emptiness and futility]And their years in sudden terror.

For a thousand years in Your sightAre like yesterday when it is past,Or as a watch in the night.

You have swept them away like a flood, they fall asleep [forgotten as soon as they are gone];In the morning they are like grass which grows anew—

For all our days pass away in Your wrath;We have finished our years like a whispered sigh.

The days of our life are seventy years—Or even, if because of strength, eighty years;Yet their pride [in additional years] is only labor and sorrow,For it is soon gone and we fly away.

Make us glad in proportion to the days You have afflicted us,And the years we have suffered evil.

“For forty years I was grieved and disgusted with that generation,And I said, ‘They are a people who err in their heart,And they do not acknowledge or regard My ways.’

I said, “O my God, do not take me away in the midst of my days;Your years are [eternal] throughout all generations.

“But You remain the same,And Your years will never end.
