39. But You have cast off and spurned, You have become furious with Your anointed one.
40. You have renounced the covenant of Your servant. You have defiled his crown even to the ground.
41. You have broken down all his walls. You reduced his strongholds to ruin.
42. All who pass by have plundered him. He has become a taunt to his neighbors.
43. You exalted the right hand of his foes and made all his enemies rejoice.
44. You turned back the edge of his sword and have not supported him in battle.
45. You brought his splendor to an end, and cast his throne down to the ground.
46. You cut short the days of his youth. You covered him with shame. Selah
47. How long, Adonai, will You hide Yourself? Forever? Will Your fury keep burning like fire?
48. Remember how short my life span is! For what futility have You created all the children of men?
49. What man can live and not see death? Can he deliver himself from the clutches of Sheol? Selah
50. Where is Your former lovingkindness, my Lord, which You swore to David in Your faithfulness?
