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?
48. What man can live and never see death?Who can save himself from the power of Sheol? Selah
49. Lord, where are the former acts of Your faithful lovethat You swore to David in Your faithfulness?
50. Remember, Lord, the ridicule against Your servants —in my heart I carry abuse from all the peoples —
51. how Your enemies have ridiculed, Lord,how they have ridiculed every step of Your anointed.
52. May the Lord be praised forever.Amen and amen.
