Psalms 89:40-47

⁴⁰(89:41) Thou hast broken down all his fences: thou hast brought his strong-holds to terror.

⁴¹(89:42) All that pass by the way plunder him: he is become a reproach to his neighbors.

⁴²(89:43) Thou hast raised up the right hand of his assailants: thou hast caused all his enemies to rejoice.

⁴³(89:44) Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not let him stand erect in the battle.

⁴⁴(89:45) Thou hast made his brilliancy cease; and his throne hast thou thrown down to the ground.

⁴⁵(89:46) Thou hast shortened the days of his youth: thou hast enshrouded him with shame. Selah.

⁴⁶(89:47) How long, Lord, wilt thou hide thyself, continually? how long shall thy fury burn like fire?

⁴⁷(89:48) Remember what I am, what my duration is here, for what nothingness thou hast created all sons of men!
