Psalm 89:46-52

Common English Bible

⁴⁶ How long will it last, Lord?
    Will you hide yourself forever?
    How long will your wrath burn like fire?
⁴⁷ Remember how short my life is!
    Have you created humans for no good reason?
⁴⁸ Who lives their life without seeing death?
    Who is ever rescued from the grip of the grave?^[a] Selah
⁴⁹ Where now are your loving acts
    from long ago, my Lord—
    the same ones you promised to David
    by your own faithfulness?
⁵⁰ Remember your servant’s abuse, my Lord!
    Remember how I bear in my heart
    all the insults of the nations,^[b]
51         the ones your enemies, Lord, use—
        the ones they use to abuse
        every step your anointed one takes.

⁵² Bless the Lord forever!
    Amen and Amen!
