Psalms 89:39-52

³⁹You have made your agreement with your servant of no effect: you have had no respect for his crown, it has come down even to the earth.

⁴⁰All his walls are broken down; you have given his strong towers to destruction.

⁴¹All those who come by take away his goods; he is laughed at by his neighbours.

⁴²You have given power to the right hand of his haters; you have made glad all those who are against him.

⁴³His sword is turned back; you have not been his support in the fight.

⁴⁴You have put an end to his glory: the seat of his kingdom has been levelled to the earth.

⁴⁵You have made him old before his time; he is covered with shame. (Selah.)

⁴⁶How long, O Lord, will you Keep yourself for ever from our eyes? how long will your wrath be burning like fire?

⁴⁷See how short my time is; why have you made all men for no purpose?

⁴⁸What man now living will not see death? will he be able to keep back his soul from the underworld? (Selah.)

⁴⁹Lord, where are your earlier mercies? where is the oath which you made to David in unchanging faith?

⁵⁰Keep in mind, O Lord, the shame of your servants, and how the bitter words of all the people have come into my heart;

⁵¹The bitter words of your haters, O Lord, shaming the footsteps of your king.

⁵²Let the Lord be praised for ever. So be it, So be it.
