Context of Psalms 89:44
42Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice. 43Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.

Selah. 46How long, Lord? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?
