39Thou hast turned away the testa-ment of thy servant; thou madest unholy his saintuary in earth.
40Thou destroyedest all the hedges thereof; thou hast set the steadfastness thereof into dread.
41All men passing by the way ravished him; he is made a shame to his neighbours.
42Thou hast enhanced the right hand of men oppressing him; thou hast gladdened all his enemies.
43Thou hast turned away the help of his sword; and thou helpedest not him in battle.
