Context of Psalms 89:49
47Remember that my life is very short! People are weak and their lives seem useless. Why do you make people like that? 48Nobody can continue to live and never die. Nobody can escape from the power of death. My Lord, where is the faithful love that you showed to us in past times? Where are the blessings that you promised to David? 50My Lord, look at how people are insulting me! People from all nations laugh at me, your servant. 51Lord, your enemies insult the king that you have chosen. Wherever I go, they insult me!
