33. But I will not hold back my love from David,nor will I stop being loyal.
34. I will not break my agreementnor change what I have said.
35. I have promised by my holiness,I will not lie to David.
36. His family will go on forever.His kingdom will last before me like the sun.
37. It will continue forever, like the moon,like a dependable witness in the sky.”Selah
38. But now you have refused and rejected your appointed king.You have been angry with him.
39. You have abandoned the agreement with your servantand thrown his crown to the ground.
40. You have torn down all his city walls;you have turned his strong cities into ruins.
41. Everyone who passes by steals from him.His neighbors insult him.
42. You have given strength to his enemiesand have made them all happy.
43. You have made his sword useless;you did not help him stand in battle.
44. You have kept him from winningand have thrown his throne to the ground.
45. You have cut his life shortand covered him with shame.Selah
46. Lord, how long will this go on?Will you ignore us forever?How long will your anger burn like a fire?
47. Remember how short my life is.Why did you create us? For nothing?
