Psalms 89:38-51

38But you have spurned and rejected him; you have become enraged with your anointed.

39You have repudiated the covenant with your servant; you have completely dishonored his crown.

40You have broken down all his walls; you have reduced his fortified cities to ruins.

41All who pass by plunder him; he has become an object of ridicule to his neighbors.

42You have lifted high the right hand of his foes; you have made all his enemies rejoice.

43You have also turned back his sharp sword and have not let him stand in battle.

44You have made his splendor cease and have overturned his throne.

45You have shortened the days of his youth; you have covered him with shame.Selah

46How long, Lord? Will you hide forever? Will your anger keep burning like fire?

47Remember how short my life is. Have you created everyone for nothing?

48What courageous person can live and never see death? Who can save himself from the power of Sheol?Selah

49Lord, where are the former acts of your faithful love that you swore to David in your faithfulness?

50Remember, Lord, the ridicule against your servants — in my heart I carry abuse from all the peoples —

51how your enemies have ridiculed, Lord, how they have ridiculed every step of your anointed.
