Psalms 89:38-51

38But now you have rejected him and cast him off. You are angry with your anointed king.

39You have renounced your covenant with him; you have thrown his crown in the dust.

40You have broken down the walls protecting him and ruined every fort defending him.

41Everyone who comes along has robbed him, and he has become a joke to his neighbors.

42You have strengthened his enemies and made them all rejoice.

43You have made his sword useless and refused to help him in battle.

44You have ended his splendor and overturned his throne.

45You have made him old before his time and publicly disgraced him. Interlude

46O Lord, how long will this go on? Will you hide yourself forever? How long will your anger burn like fire?

47Remember how short my life is, how empty and futile this human existence!

48No one can live forever; all will die. No one can escape the power of the grave. Interlude

49Lord, where is your unfailing love? You promised it to David with a faithful pledge.

50Consider, Lord, how your servants are disgraced! I carry in my heart the insults of so many people.

51Your enemies have mocked me, O Lord; they mock your anointed king wherever he goes.
