42. You held the right hand of his enemies highand made all of his adversaries rejoice.
43. You even took his sword out of his handand failed to support him in battle.
44. You put an end to his splendorand hurled his throne to the ground.
45. You cut short the days of his youthand covered him with shame. Selah
46. How long, O Lord? Will you hide yourself forever?How long will your anger continue to burn like fire?

48. Can a mortal go on living and never see death?Who can set himself free from the power of the grave? Selah
