Psalms 89:39-51

39You have 1spurned the covenant of Your servant; You have 2profaned 3his crown 4in the dust.40You have 5broken down all his walls; You have 6brought his strongholds to ruin.41 7All who pass along the way plunder him; He has become a 8reproach to his neighbors.42You have 9exalted the right hand of his adversaries; You have 10made all his enemies rejoice.43You also turn back the edge of his sword And have 11not made him stand in battle.44You have made his 12 13splendor to cease And cast his throne to the ground.45You have 14shortened the days of his youth; You have 15covered him with shame. Selah.

46 16How long, O Lord? Will You hide Yourself forever? Will Your 17wrath burn like fire?47 18Remember 19what my span of life is; For what 20vanity 21You have created all the sons of men!48What man can live and not 22see death? Can he 23deliver his soul from the 24power of 25Sheol? Selah.

49Where are Your former lovingkindnesses, O Lord, Which You 26swore to David in Your faithfulness?50Remember, O Lord, the 27reproach of Your servants; 28How I bear in my bosom the reproach of all the many peoples,51With which 29Your enemies have reproached, O Lord, With which they have reproached the footsteps of 30Your anointed.
