Context of Psalms 89:46
44You have put an end to his splendor And have hurled his throne to the ground. 45You have shortened the days of his youth; You have covered him with shame. Selah. How long, O Lord? Will You hide Yourself forever? Will Your wrath burn like fire? 47Remember how fleeting my lifetime is; For what vanity, [for what emptiness, for what futility, for what wisp of smoke] You have created all the sons of men! 48What man can live and not see death? Can he rescue his soul from the [powerful] hand of Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead)? Selah.
