But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed (89:38) Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground (89:39) Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin (89:40) All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours (89:41) Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice (89:42) Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle (89:43) Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground (89:44) The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah (89:45) How long, Lord? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire (89:46) Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain (89:47) What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah (89:48) Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth (89:49) Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people (89:50) Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O Lord; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed (89:51) Blessed be the Lord for evermore. Amen, and Amen
(89:52)
