44You have ended his splendor and cast his throne to the ground. 45You have cut short the days of his youth; You have covered him with shame. Selah 46How long, O LORD? Will You hide Yourself forever? Will Your wrath keep burning like fire? 47Remember the briefness of my lifespan! For what futility You have created all men! 48What man can live and never see death? Can he deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah 49Where, O Lord, is Your loving devotion of old, which You faithfully swore to David? 50Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Your servants, which I bear in my heart from so many people— 51how Your enemies have taunted, O LORD, and have mocked every step of Your anointed one! 52Blessed be the LORD forever! Amen and amen.
