38. But You have spurned and rejected him;You have become enraged with Your anointed.
39. You have repudiated the covenant with Your servant;You have completely dishonored his crown.
40. You have broken down all his walls;You have reduced his fortified cities to ruins.
41. All who pass by plunder him; he has become an object of ridiculeto his neighbors.
42. You have lifted high the right hand of his foes;You have made all his enemies rejoice.
43. You have also turned back his sharp swordand have not let him stand in battle.
44. You have made his splendor ceaseand have overturned his throne.
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 anger keep burning like fire?
47. Remember how short my life is.Have You created everyone for nothing?
