Psalms 89:38-51

38But you have despised, rejected, and become angry with your anointed one.

39You have refused to recognize the promise to your servant and have thrown his crown into the dirt.

40You have broken through all his walls and have laid his fortified cities in ruins.

41(Everyone who passed by robbed him. He has become the object of his neighbors’ scorn.)

42You held the right hand of his enemies high and made all of his adversaries rejoice.

43You even took his sword out of his hand and failed to support him in battle.

44You put an end to his splendor and hurled his throne to the ground.

45You cut short the days of his youth and covered him with shame. Selah

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

47Remember how short my life is! Have you created Adam’s descendants for no reason?

48Can a mortal go on living and never see death? Who can set himself free from the power of the grave? Selah

49Where is the evidence of your mercy, Lord? You swore an oath to David on ⌞the basis of⌟ your faithfulness.

50Remember, O Lord, how your servant  has been insulted. Remember how I have carried in my heart ⌞the insults⌟ from so many people.

51Your enemies insulted ⌞me⌟. They insulted your Messiah  every step he took.
