Psalms 89:38-52

38But You have 1rejected and 2refused, You have been full of wrath 3against Your 4anointed.39You have 5 6repudiated the covenant of Your servant; You have 7profaned 8his crown 9in the dust.40You have 10broken down all his walls; You have 11brought his strongholds to ruin.41 12All who pass along the way plunder him; He has become a 13disgrace to his neighbors.42You have 14exalted the right hand of his adversaries; You have 15made all his enemies rejoice.43You also turn back the edge of his sword, And have 16not made him stand in battle.44You have put an end to his 17 18splendor And cast his throne to the ground.45You have 19shortened the days of his youth; You have 20covered him with shame. Selah

46 21How long, Lord? Will You hide Yourself forever? Will Your 22wrath burn like fire?47 23Remember 24what my lifespan is; For what 25futility 26You have created all the sons of mankind!48What man can live and not 27see death? Can he 28save his soul from the 29power of 30Sheol? Selah

49Where are Your former acts of favor, Lord, Which You 31swore to David in Your faithfulness?50Remember, Lord, the 32taunt against Your servants; 33How I carry in my heart the taunts of all the many peoples,51With which 34Your enemies have taunted, Lord, With which they have taunted the footsteps of 35Your anointed.

52 36Blessed be the Lord forever! Amen and Amen.
