40. Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to rain.
41. All that pass by the way spoil him: he is become a reproach to his neighbours.
42. Thou hast exalted the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.
43. Yea, thou turnest back the edge his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.
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, O LORD, wilt thou hid thyself for ever? how long shall thy wrath burn like fire?
47. O remember how short my time is: for what vanity hast thou created all the children of men!
