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