³⁸ But now you have spurned and rejected him;
   you are full of wrath against your anointed.
³⁹ You have renounced the covenant with your servant;
   you have defiled his crown in the dust.
⁴⁰ You have broken through all his walls;
   you have laid his strongholds in ruins.
⁴¹ All who pass by plunder him;
   he has become the scorn of his neighbours.
⁴² You have exalted the right hand of his foes;
   you have made all his enemies rejoice.
⁴³ Moreover, you have turned back the edge of his sword,
   and you have not supported him in battle.
⁴⁴ You have removed the sceptre from his hand,^*
   and hurled his throne to the ground.
⁴⁵ You have cut short the days of his youth;
   you have covered him with shame.
          Selah

⁴⁶ How long, O Lord? Will you hide yourself for ever?
   How long will your wrath burn like fire?
⁴⁷ Remember how short my time is—^*
   for what vanity you have created all mortals!
⁴⁸ Who can live and never see death?
   Who can escape the power of Sheol?
          Selah

⁴⁹ Lord, where is your steadfast love of old,
   which by your faithfulness you swore to David?
⁵⁰ Remember, O Lord, how your servant is taunted;
   how I bear in my bosom the insults of the peoples,^*
51 with which your enemies taunt, O Lord,
   with which they taunted the footsteps of your anointed.
