Psalms 89:38-52

JPS_ASV_Byz(i) 38 (89:39) But Thou hast cast off and rejected, Thou hast been wroth with Thine anointed. 39 (89:40) Thou hast abhorred the covenant of Thy servant; Thou hast profaned his crown even to the ground. 40 (89:41) Thou hast broken down all his fences; Thou hast brought his strongholds to ruin. 41 (89:42) All that pass by the way spoil him; he is become a taunt to his neighbours. 42 (89:43) Thou hast exalted the right hand of his adversaries; Thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice. 43 (89:44) Yea, Thou turnest back the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle. 44 (89:45) Thou hast made his brightness to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground. 45 (89:46) The days of his youth hast Thou shortened; Thou hast covered him with shame. Selah 46 (89:47) How long, O LORD, wilt Thou hide Thyself for ever? How long shall Thy wrath burn like fire? 47 (89:48) O remember how short my time is; for what vanity hast Thou created all the children of men! 48 (89:49) What man is he that liveth and shall not see death, that shall deliver his soul from the power of the grave? Selah 49 (89:50) Where are Thy former mercies, O Lord, which Thou didst swear unto David in Thy faithfulness? 50 (89:51) Remember, Lord, the taunt of Thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the taunt of so many peoples; 51 (89:52) Wherewith Thine enemies have taunted, O LORD, wherewith they have taunted the footsteps of Thine anointed. 52 (89:53) Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.
