Psalm 89:42-49 American Standard Version (ASV)

42. Thou hast exalted the right hand of his adversaries; Thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.

43. Yea, thou turnest back the edge of his sword, And hast not made him to stand in the battle.

44. Thou hast made his brightness to cease, And cast his throne down to the ground.

45. The days of his youth hast thou shortened: Thou hast covered him with shame.

46. How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? How long shall thy wrath burn like fire?

47. Oh remember how short my time is: For what vanity hast thou created all the children of men!

48. What man is he that shall live and not see death, That shall deliver his soul from the power of Sheol?

49. Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, Which thou swarest unto David in thy faithfulness?
