36. His offspring will endure forever,his throne like the sun before me.
37. It will be established forever like the moon,the faithful witness in the sky.” Selah.
38. But you have rejected and spurned.You have been angry with your anointed.
39. You have renounced the covenant of your servant.You have defiled his crown in the dust.
40. You have broken down all his hedges.You have brought his strongholds to ruin.
41. All who pass by the way rob him.He has become a reproach to his neighbours.
42. You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries.You have made all of his enemies rejoice.
43. Yes, you turn back the edge of his sword,and haven’t supported him in battle.
44. You have ended his splendour,and thrown his throne down to the ground.
45. You have shortened the days of his youth.You have covered him with shame. Selah.
46. How long, Lord?Will you hide yourself forever?Will your wrath burn like fire?
47. Remember how short my time is!For what vanity have you created all the children of men!
48. What man is he who shall live and not see death,who shall deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah.
49. Lord, where are your former loving kindnesses,which you swore to David in your faithfulness?
50. Remember, Lord, the reproach of your servants,how I bear in my heart the taunts of all the mighty peoples,
51. With which your enemies have mocked, Lord,with which they have mocked the footsteps of your anointed one.
52. Blessed be the Lord forever more.Amen, and Amen.
