Psalm 89:39-52

Complete Jewish Bible

^39 (38) But you spurned your anointed one,
rejected and vented your rage on him.
^40 (39) You renounced the covenant with your servant
and defiled his crown in the dust.
^41 (40) You broke through all his defenses
and left his strongholds in ruins.
^42 (41) All who pass by plunder him;
he is an object of scorn to his neighbors.
^43 (42) You raised up the right hand of his foes
and made all his enemies rejoice.
^44 (43) You drive back his drawn sword
and fail to support him in battle.
^45 (44) You brought an end to his splendor
and hurled his throne to the ground.
^46 (45) You cut short the days of his youth
and covered him with shame. (Selah)

^47 (46) How long, Adonai? Will you hide yourself forever?
How long will your fury burn like fire?
^48 (47) Remember how little time I have!
Was it for no purpose that you created all humanity?
^49 (48) Who can live and not see death?
Who can save himself from the power of the grave? (Selah)
^50 (49) Where, Adonai, are the acts of grace you once did,
those which, in your faithfulness, you swore to David?
^51 (50) Remember, Adonai, the taunts hurled at your servants,
which I carry in my heart [from] so many peoples!
^52 (51) Your enemies, Adonai, have flung their taunts,
flung them in the footsteps of your anointed one.
