Does the Bible say we will live 70 years? Unpacking Psalm 90:10

While Psalm 90:10 is often quoted, stating that human life is "seventy years, or eighty if we have the strength," it is not a divine decree limiting everyone's lifespan. Rather, this verse, written by Moses, is a poetic reflection on the brevity and toil of human life compared to God's eternal nature. A proper understanding requires examining the biblical context of lifespan and theological purpose.
