Psalms 89:38-52

38But You have cast off and abhorred, You have been furious with Your anointed.

39You have renounced the covenant of Your servant; You have profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.

40You have broken down all his hedges; You have brought his strongholds to ruin.

41All who pass by the way plunder him; He is a reproach to his neighbors.

42You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries; You have made all his enemies rejoice.

43You have also turned back the edge of his sword, And have not sustained him in the battle.

44You have made his glory cease, And cast his throne down to the ground.

45The days of his youth You have shortened; You have covered him with shame. Selah

46How long, Lord? Will You hide Yourself forever? Will Your wrath burn like fire?

47Remember how short my time is; For what futility have You created all the children of men?

48What man can live and not see death? Can he deliver his life from the power of the grave? Selah

49Lord, where are Your former lovingkindnesses, Which You swore to David in Your truth?

50Remember, Lord, the reproach of Your servants— How I bear in my bosom the reproach of all the many peoples,

51With which Your enemies have reproached, O Lord, With which they have reproached the footsteps of Your anointed.

52Blessed be the Lord forevermore! Amen and Amen.
