36His royal line will last forever, and his dynasty will continue before me as long as the sun endures.
37It will continue forever like the moon, an enduring witness in the heavens.” Selah.
38But you have rejected and abandoned him! You are angry with your chosen king!
39You have broken the agreement you had with him; you have thrown his crown to the ground!
40You have torn down his defensive walls; you have ruined his fortresses.
41Everyone who passes by has robbed him; he has become an object of mockery to the nations nearby.
42You have made his enemies strong; you have made them celebrate their victory.
43You have repelled his sharp sword; you have not helped him in battle.
44You took away his glory; you threw his throne to the ground.
45You have made him grow old before his time; you have totally humiliated him. Selah.
46How long, Lord? Will you hide yourself from us forever, your anger burning like fire?
47Remember me—my life is so short! Why did you bother creating futile humanity?
48There's no one who doesn't die—no one can save themselves from the power of the grave. Selah.
49Where is the trustworthy love you used to have, Lord, that you faithfully promised to David?
50Don't forget, Lord, how your servants are being humiliated! I'm burdened down with the insults of so many nations!
51Your enemies taunt me, Lord, mocking your king wherever he goes.
