Psalms 89:39-51

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

46 17How long, Lord? Will You hide Yourself forever? Will Your 18wrath burn like fire?47 19Remember 20what my lifespan is; For what 21futility 22You have created all the sons of mankind!48What man can live and not 23see death? Can he 24save his soul from the 25power of 26Sheol? Selah

49Where are Your former acts of favor, Lord, Which You 27swore to David in Your faithfulness?50Remember, Lord, the 28taunt against Your servants; 29How I carry in my heart the taunts of all the many peoples,51With which 30Your enemies have taunted, Lord, With which they have taunted the footsteps of 31Your anointed.
