35. Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.
36. His descendants shall endure forever, and his throne as the sun before me.
37. It shall be established forever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven.
38. But you have cast off and abhorred, you have been angry with your anointed.
39. You have made void the covenant of your servant: you have profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.
40. You have broken down all his hedges; you have brought his strongholds to ruin.
41. All that pass by the way plunder him: he is a reproach to his neighbors.
42. You have lifted up the right hand of his adversaries; you have made all his enemies to rejoice.
43. You have also turned back the edge of his sword, and have not made him to stand in the battle.
44. You have made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.
45. The days of his youth have you shortened: you have covered him with shame. Selah.
46. How long, LORD? will you hide yourself forever? shall your anger burn like fire?
47. Remember how short my time is: why have you made all men in vain?
