Psalms 89:38-51

38But now you have cast off and rejected; you are full of wrath against your anointed.

39You have renounced the covenant with your servant; you have defiled his crown in the dust.

40You have breached all his walls; you have laid his strongholds in ruins.

41All who pass by plunder him; he has become the scorn of his neighbors.

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

43You have also turned back the edge of his sword, and you have not made him stand in battle.

44You have made his splendor to cease and cast his throne to the ground.

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

46How long, O Lord? Will you hide yourself forever? How long will your wrath burn like fire?

47Remember how short my time is! For what vanity you have created all the children of man!

48What man can live and never see death? Who can deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah

49Lord, where is your steadfast love of old, which by your faithfulness you swore to David?

50Remember, O Lord, how your servants are mocked, and how I bear in my heart the insults of all the many nations,

51with which your enemies mock, O Lord, with which they mock the footsteps of your anointed.
