37. It will be established forever like the moon,the faithful witness in the sky.” Selah.
38. But you have rejected and spurned.You have been angry with your anointed.
39. You have renounced the covenant of your servant.You have defiled his crown in the dust.
40. You have broken down all his hedges.You have brought his strongholds to ruin.
41. All who pass by the way rob him.He has become a reproach to his neighbours.
42. You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries.You have made all of his enemies rejoice.
43. Yes, you turn back the edge of his sword,and haven’t supported him in battle.
44. You have ended his splendour,and thrown his throne down to the ground.
