New King James Version

Psalms 89:44-52 New King James Version (NKJV)

44. You have made his glory cease,And cast his throne down to the ground.

45. The days of his youth You have shortened;You have covered him with shame.Selah

46. How long, Lord?Will You hide Yourself forever?Will Your wrath burn like fire?

47. Remember how short my time is;For what futility have You created all the children of men?

48. What man can live and not see death?Can he deliver his life from the power of the grave?Selah

49. Lord, where are Your former lovingkindnesses,Which You swore to David in Your truth?

50. Remember, Lord, the reproach of Your servants—How I bear in my bosom the reproach of all the many peoples,

51. With which Your enemies have reproached, O Lord,With which they have reproached the footsteps of Your anointed.

52. Blessed be the Lord forevermore!Amen and Amen.
