42You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries;
         You have made all his enemies rejoice.

43You also turn back the edge of his sword
         And have not made him stand in battle.

44You have made his splendor to cease
         And cast his throne to the ground.

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

46How long, O LORD?
         Will You hide Yourself forever?
         Will Your wrath burn like fire?

47Remember what my span of life is;
         For what vanity You have created all the sons of men!

48What man can live and not see death?
         Can he deliver his soul from the power of Sheol?

49Where are Your former lovingkindnesses, O Lord,
         Which You swore to David in Your faithfulness?

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

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

52Blessed be the LORD forever!
         Amen and Amen.
