36. His offspring will endure forever, and his throne as the sun before me.
37. Like the moon it will be steadfast forever, and like an enduring witness in the sky.’ ” Selah
38. But you have spurned and rejected; you are very angry with your anointed one.
39. You have repudiated the covenant with your servant; you have defiled his crown in the dirt.
40. You have broken down all his walls; you have made his fortifications a ruin.
41. All passing along the road plunder him; he has become a taunt to his neighbors.
42. You have raised the right hand of his adversaries. You have made all his enemies rejoice.
43. You have also turned back the edge of his sword and have not helped him stand his ground in the battle.
44. You have made his splendor to cease, and cast his throne to the ground.
