Psalms 89:43-52

⁴³Yea, thou hast turned back the edge of his sword, and hast not made him 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, Jehovah, wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy fury burn like fire?

⁴⁷Remember, as regards me, what life is. Wherefore hast thou created all the children of men to be vanity?

⁴⁸What man liveth, and shall not see death? Shall he deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah.

⁴⁹Where, Lord, are thy former loving-kindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy faithfulness?

⁵⁰Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants — that I bear in my bosom that of all the mighty peoples —

⁵¹Wherewith thine enemies, O Jehovah, have reproached, wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.

⁵²Blessed be Jehovah for evermore! Amen, and Amen.
