44. Thou hast made his brightness to cease, and cast 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, Jehovah, wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy fury burn like fire?
47. Remember, as regards me, what life is. Wherefore hast thou created all the children of men to be vanity?
48. What man liveth, and shall not see death? Shall he deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah.
49. Where, Lord, are thy former loving-kindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy faithfulness?
50. Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants--that I bear in my bosom that of all the mighty peoples--
51. Wherewith thine enemies, O Jehovah, have reproached, wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.
52. Blessed be Jehovah for evermore! Amen, and Amen.
