34. I will not break my agreement.I will not change what I have said.
35. It is certain that I am a holy God.So it is certain I will not lie to David.
36. His family will continue forever.His kingdom will continue before me like the sun.
37. It will last forever, like the moon,like a lasting witness in the sky.” Selah
38. But now, you have rejected your appointed king.You have been angry with him.
39. You have broken the agreement with your servant.You threw his crown to the ground.
40. You have torn down all the city walls.You have turned his strong, walled cities into ruins.
41. Everyone who passes by steals from him.His neighbors insult him.
42. You have given strength to his enemies.You have made them all happy.
43. You have made his sword useless.You did not help him stand in battle.
44. You have kept him from winning.You threw his throne to the ground.
45. You have cut his life short.You have covered him with shame. Selah
46. Lord, how long will this go on?Will you ignore us forever?How long will your anger burn like a fire?
47. Remember how short my life is.Why did you create us anyway?
48. What man alive will not die?Can he escape the grave? Selah
49. Lord, where is your love from times past?With loyalty you promised it to David.
50. Lord, remember how they insulted your servant.Remember how I have suffered the insults of the nations.
51. Lord, remember how your enemies insulted you.Remember how they insulted your appointed king wherever he went.
