38  But you have cast off and rejected your anointed; ♦︎
   you have shown fierce anger against him.
39  You have broken the covenant with your servant, ♦︎
   and have cast his crown to the dust.
40  You have broken down all his walls ♦︎
   and laid his strongholds in ruins.
41  All who pass by despoil him, ♦︎
   and he has become the scorn of his neighbours.
42  You have exalted the right hand of his foes ♦︎
   and made all his enemies rejoice.
43  You have turned back the edge of his sword ♦︎
   and have not upheld him in battle.
44  You have made an end of his radiance ♦︎
   and cast his throne to the ground.
45  You have cut short the days of his youth ♦︎
   and have covered him with shame.
46  How long will you hide yourself so utterly, O Lord? ♦︎
   How long shall your anger burn like fire?
47  Remember how short my time is, ♦︎
   how frail you have made all mortal flesh.
48  Which of the living shall not see death, ♦︎
   and shall deliver their soul from the power of darkness?
49  Where, O Lord, is your steadfast love of old, ♦︎
   which you swore to David in your faithfulness?
50  Remember, O Lord, how your servant is scorned, ♦︎
   how I bear in my bosom the taunts of many peoples,
51  While your enemies mock, O Lord, ♦︎
   while they mock the footsteps of your anointed.
52  Blessed be the Lord for evermore. ♦︎
   Amen and Amen.
