89:43 You turn back
and have not sustained him in battle.
89:44 You have brought to an end his splendor,
and have knocked
89:45 You have cut short his youth,
and have covered him with shame. (Selah)
89:46 How long, O Lord, will this last?
Will you remain hidden forever?
Will your anger continue to burn like fire?
89:47 Take note of my brief lifespan!
Why do you make all people so mortal?
89:48 No man can live on without experiencing death,
or deliver his life from the power of Sheol.
89:49 Where are your earlier faithful deeds,
the ones performed in accordance with your reliable oath to David?
89:50 Take note, O Lord,
and of how I must bear so many insults from people!
89:51 Your enemies, O Lord, hurl insults;
they insult your chosen king as they dog his footsteps.
89:52
We agree! We agree!
