Psalms 89:45-52 New English Translation (NET)

45. You have cut short his youth,and have covered him with shame. (Selah)

46. How long, O Lord, will this last?Will you remain hidden forever?Will your anger continue to burn like fire?

47. Take note of my brief lifespan!Why do you make all people so mortal?

48. No man can live on without experiencing death,or deliver his life from the power of Sheol. (Selah)

49. Where are your earlier faithful deeds, O Lord,the ones performed in accordance with your reliable oath to David?

50. Take note, O Lord, of the way your servants are taunted,and of how I must bear so many insults from people!

51. Your enemies, O Lord, hurl insults;they insult your chosen king as they dog his footsteps.

52. The Lord deserves praise forevermore!We agree! We agree!
