Psalms 89:36-52

³⁶His seed shall endure for ever, And his throne as the sun before me.

³⁷It shall be established for ever as the moon, And as the faithful witness in the sky. Selah

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 by casting it to the ground.

⁴⁰Thou hast broken down all his hedges; Thou hast brought his strongholds to ruin.

⁴¹All that pass by the way rob him: He is become a reproach to his neighbors.

⁴²Thou hast exalted the right hand of his adversaries; Thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.

⁴³Yea, thou turnest back the edge of his sword, And hast not made him to stand in the battle.

⁴⁴Thou hast made 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 long, O Jehovah? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? How long shall thy wrath burn like fire?

⁴⁷Oh remember how short my time is: For what vanity hast thou created all the children of men!

⁴⁸What man is he that shall live and not see death, That shall deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah

⁴⁹Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, Which thou swarest unto David in thy faithfulness?

⁵⁰Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; How I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty peoples,

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

⁵²Blessed be Jehovah for evermore. Amen, and Amen.
