Psalms 89:38-47 Metrical Psalms 1650 (MP1650)

38. But thou, displeased, hast cast off,thou didst abhor and loathe;With him that thine anointed isthou hast been very wroth.

39. Thou hast thy servant's covenantmade void, and quite cast by;Thou hast profan'd his crown, while itcast on the ground doth lie.

40. Thou all his hedges hast broke down,his strong holds down hast torn.

41. He to all passers-by a spoil,to neighbours is a scorn.

42. Thou hast set up his foes' right hand;mad'st all his en'mies glad:

43. Turn'd his sword's edge, and himto stand in battle hast not made.

44. His glory thou hast made to cease,his throne to ground down cast;

45. Shorten'd his days of youth, and himwith shame thou cover'd hast.

46. How long, Lord, wilt thou hide thyself?for ever, in thine ire?And shall thine indignationburn like unto a fire?

47. Remember, Lord, how short a timeI shall on earth remain:O wherefore is it so that thouhas made all men in vain?
