Revised Version 1895

Psalms 89:38-52

38But thou hast cast off and rejected, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.

39Thou hast abhorred the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown even to the ground.

40Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to rain.

41AllH3605 that pass by the wayH3605 spoil him: he is become a reproach to his neighbours.

42Thou hast exalted the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast madeH1961 allH3605 his enemies to rejoice.

43Yea, thou turnest back the edge his sword, and hast not madeH8055 him to stand in the battle.

44Thou hast madeH7725 his brightness to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.

45The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah

46How longH3117, O LORD, wilt thou hid thyself for ever? how longH3117 shall thy wrath burn like fire?

47O remember howH4100 short my time is: for whatH4100 vanity hast thou created allH5704 the children of men!

48WhatH4100 manH120 is he that shall live and notH1121 see death, that shall deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah

49Lord, whereH3808 are thy former mercies, whichH4310 thou swarest unto DavidH3027 in thy faithfulness?

50Remember, LordH136, the reproach of thy servants; how I doH7650 bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty peoples:

51Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORDH136, wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.

52Blessed be the LORDH3068 for evermore. Amen, and Amen.
