PSALMS 89:43-51

⁴³Yea, thou turnest back the edge 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 LORD, wilt thou hid thyself for ever? how long shall thy wrath burn like fire?

⁴⁷O 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 mercies, 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 LORD, wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.
