33. But I will not remove my loyal love from him,nor be unfaithful to my promise.
34. I will not break my covenantor go back on what I promised.
35. Once and for all I have vowed by my own holiness,I will never deceive David.
36. His dynasty will last forever.His throne will endure before me, like the sun,
37. it will remain stable, like the moon,his throne will endure like the skies.” (Selah)
38. But you have spurned and rejected him;you are angry with your chosen king.
39. You have repudiated your covenant with your servant;you have thrown his crown to the ground.
40. You have broken down all his walls;you have made his strongholds a heap of ruins.
41. All who pass by have robbed him;he has become an object of disdain to his neighbors.
42. You have allowed his adversaries to be victorious,and all his enemies to rejoice.
43. You turn back his sword from the adversary,and have not sustained him in battle.
44. You have brought to an end his splendor,and have knocked his throne to the ground.
45. You have cut short his youth,and have covered him with shame. (Selah)
46. How long, O Lord, will this last?Will you remain hidden forever?Will your anger continue to burn like fire?
47. Take note of my brief lifespan!Why do you make all people so mortal?
48. No man can live on without experiencing death,or deliver his life from the power of Sheol. (Selah)
49. Where are your earlier faithful deeds, O Lord,the ones performed in accordance with your reliable oath to David?
50. Take note, O Lord, of the way your servants are taunted,and of how I must bear so many insults from people!
51. Your enemies, O Lord, hurl insults;they insult your chosen king as they dog his footsteps.
52. The Lord deserves praise forevermore!We agree! We agree!
