Psalms 89:46-51

46How long, O Lord, will this last? Will you remain hidden forever? Will your anger continue to burn like fire?

47Take note of my brief lifespan! Why do you make all people so mortal?

48No man can live on without experiencing death, or deliver his life from the power of Sheol. (Selah)

49Where are your earlier faithful deeds, O Lord, the ones performed in accordance with your reliable oath to David?

50Take note, O Lord, of the way your servants are taunted, and of how I must bear so many insults from people!

51Your enemies, O Lord, hurl insults; they insult your chosen king as they dog his footsteps.
