Psalms 89:44-52 ▼

44 Have caused [him] to cease from his brightness, || And have cast down his throne to the earth.

45 You have shortened the days of his youth, || Have covered him over [with] shame. Selah.

46 Until when, O YHWH, are You hidden? Does Your fury burn as fire forever?

47 Remember how [short] my lifetime [is]. Why have You created in vain || All the sons of men?

48 Who [is] the man that lives, and does not see death? He delivers his soul from the hand of Sheol. Selah.

49 Where [are] Your former kindnesses, O Lord, || [Which] You have sworn to David in Your faithfulness?

50 Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Your servants, || I have borne in my bosom all the strivings of the peoples,

51 With which Your enemies reproached, O YHWH, || With which they have reproached || The steps of Your anointed.

52 Blessed [is] YHWH for all time. Amen and amen!
