Psalms [Praises] 89:43-49

⁴³Yes, you turn back the edge of his sword, and haven’t supported him in battle.

⁴⁴You have ended his splendor, and thrown his throne down to the ground.

⁴⁵You have shortened the days of his youth. You have covered him with shame. Selah ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

⁴⁶How long, Adonai ? Will you hide yourself forever? Will your wrath burn like fire?

⁴⁷Remember how short my time is! For what vanity have you created all the children of men!

⁴⁸What man is he who shall live and not see death, who shall deliver his soul from the power of Sheol ·Place of the dead·? Selah ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

⁴⁹Lord, where are your former cheshed ·loving-kindnesses·, which you swore to David Beloved in your faithfulness?
