46. O lord, how long will this go on?Will you hide yourself forever?How long will your anger burn like fire?
47. Remember how short my life is,how empty and futile this human existence!
48. No one can live forever; all will die.No one can escape the power of the grave.Interlude
49. Lord, where is your unfailing love?You promised it to David with a faithful pledge.
50. Consider, Lord, how your servants are disgraced!I carry in my heart the insults of so many people.
51. Your enemies have mocked me, O lord;they mock your anointed king wherever he goes.
52. Praise the lord forever!Amen and amen!
