Psalms 89:43-49

⁴³You turn back the edge of his sword and have not made him stand when in battle.

⁴⁴You have brought his splendor to an end; you have brought down his throne to the ground.

⁴⁵You have shortened the days of his youth. You have covered him with shame. Selah

⁴⁶How long, Yahweh? Will you hide yourself, forever? How long will your anger burn like fire?

⁴⁷Oh, think about how short my time is, and for what uselessness you have created all the children of mankind!

⁴⁸Who can live and not die, or rescue his own life from the hand of Sheol? Selah

⁴⁹Lord, where are your former acts of covenant faithfulness that you swore to David in your truthfulness?
