Psalms, fourth book 詩篇，卷四90:10,12

“我們一生的年日是七十歲．若是強壯可到八十歲．但其中所矜誇的、不過是勞苦愁煩．轉眼成空、我們便如飛而去…求你指教我們怎樣數算自己的日子、好叫我們得著智慧的心。”

“The length of our days is seventy years–or eighty, if we have the strength; yet their span is but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away…Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”

（Psalms, fourth book 詩篇，卷四90:10,12）
