Psalms 89:39-52 ▼

39 Thou hast rejected the covenant of thy servant; thou hast cast his crown to the ground.

40 Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strongholds to ruin.

41 All that pass by have trampled upon him; he has become a reproach to his neighbours.

42 Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.

43 Thou hast turned the edge of his sword, and hast not sustained him in the battle.

44 Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.

45 The days of his youth hast thou shortened; thou hast covered him with shame.

46 How long, LORD, wilt thou be angry? for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?

47 Remember me from the time I was created; for thou hast not created all men in vain.

48 Who is the man who lives and shall not see death? Shall he deliver his soul from the hand of Sheol?

49 LORD, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou didst swear to David in thy truth?

50 Remember, LORD, the reproach of thy servants; for I have borne throughout my life the mockery of the Gentiles;

51 Wherewith thine enemies have reproached me, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.

52 Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen and Amen.
