Context of Psalms 89:42

40Thou hast broken down all his hedges; Thou hast brought his strongholds to ruin. 41All that pass by the way rob him: He is become a reproach to his neighbors. Thou hast exalted the right hand of his adversaries; Thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice. 43Yea, thou turnest back the edge of his sword, And hast not made him to stand in the battle. 44Thou hast made his brightness to cease, And cast his throne down to the ground.
