37. his seed shall endure for ever.

38. And his throne as the sun before me: and as the moon perfect for ever, and a faithful witness in heaven.

39. But thou hast rejected and despised: thou hast been angry with thy anointed.

40. Thou hast overthrown the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his sanctuary on the earth.

41. Thou hast broken down all his hedges: thou hast made his strength fear.

42. All that pass by the way have robbed him: he is become a reproach to his neighbours.

43. Thou hast set up the right hand of them that oppress him: thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.

44. Thou hast turned away the help of his sword; and hast not assisted him in battle.

45. Thou hast made his purification to cease: and thou hast cast his throne down to the ground.

46. Thou hast shortened the days of his time: thou hast covered him with confusion.

47. How long, O Lord, turnest thou away unto the end? shall thy anger burn like fire?

48. Remember what my substance is for hast thou made all the children of men in vain?
