Psalm 89:45-52 American Standard Version (ASV)

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?

50. Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; How I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty peoples,

51. Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O Jehovah, Wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.

52. Blessed be Jehovah for evermore. Amen, and Amen.
