Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

38But You have rejected and refused,

You have been full of wrath against Your anointed.

39You have repudiated the covenant of Your servant;

You have profaned his crown in the dust.

40You have broken down all his walls;

You have brought his strongholds to ruin.

41All who pass along the way plunder him;

He has become a disgrace to his neighbors.

42You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries;

You have made all his enemies rejoice.

43You also turn back the edge of his sword,

And have not made him stand in battle.

44You have put an end to his splendor

And cast his throne to the ground.

45You have shortened the days of his youth;

You have covered him with shame.

46How long, Lord?

Will You hide Yourself forever?

Will Your wrath burn like fire?

47Remember what my lifespan is;

For what futility You have created all the sons of mankind!

48What man can live and not see death?

Can he save his soul from the power of Sheol?

49Where are Your former acts of favor, Lord,

Which You swore to David in Your faithfulness?

50Remember, Lord, the taunt against Your servants;

How I carry in my heart the taunts of all the many peoples,

51With which Your enemies have taunted, Lord,

With which they have taunted the footsteps of Your anointed.

52Blessed be the Lord forever!
