38. and, like the moon, it is perfected in eternity, and it is a faithful witness in heaven.
39. Yet, truly, you have rejected and despised, you have pushed away, my Christ.
40. You have overthrown the covenant of your servant. You have profaned his sanctuary on earth.
41. You have destroyed all his fences. You have made his territory dreadful.
42. All who pass by the way have plundered him. He has become a disgrace to his neighbors.
43. You have exalted the right hand of those who oppress him. You have brought joy to all his enemies.
44. You have diverted the help of his sword, and you have not assisted him in battle.
45. You have torn him away from cleansing, and you have smashed his throne down to the ground.
46. You have reduced the days of his time. You have flooded him with confusion.
47. How long, O Lord? Will you turn away unto the end? Will your wrath flare up like a fire?
