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?
51. Remember, my Lord, the mockery against Your servants that I bear in my heart from so many peoples.
52. How Your enemies have mocked, Adonai, how they have mocked the footsteps of Your Anointed One!
53. Blessed be Adonai forever. Amen and Amen.
