46 How long, Lord?
Will You hide Yourself forever?
Will Your wrath burn like fire?
47 Remember how short my time (A)is;
For what (B)futility have You created all the children of men?
48 What man can live and not [a]see (C)death?
Can he deliver his life from the power of [b]the grave? Selah

49 Lord, where are Your former lovingkindnesses,
Which You (D)swore to David (E)in Your truth?
50 Remember, Lord, the reproach of Your servants—
(F)How I bear in my bosom the reproach of all the many peoples,
51 (G)With which Your enemies have reproached, O Lord,
With which they have reproached the footsteps of Your [c]anointed.

52 (H)Blessed be the Lord forevermore!
Amen and Amen.
