38 But now you have (A)cast off and rejected;
    you are full of wrath against your (B)anointed.
39 You have (C)renounced (D)the covenant with your servant;
    you have (E)defiled his (F)crown in the dust.
40 You have (G)breached all his walls;
    you have laid his strongholds in ruins.
41 (H)All who pass by plunder him;
    he has become (I)the scorn of his neighbors.
42 You have exalted the right hand of his foes;
    you have made all his enemies rejoice.
43 You have also turned back the edge of his sword,
    and you have not made him stand in battle.
44 You have made his splendor to cease
    and cast his throne to the ground.
45 You have cut short (J)the days of his youth;
    you have (K)covered him with shame. Selah

46 (L)How long, O Lord? Will you hide yourself forever?
    How long will your wrath (M)burn like fire?
47 (N)Remember (O)how short my (P)time is!
    For what vanity you have created all the children of man!
48 (Q)What man can live and never (R)see death?
    Who can deliver his soul from the power of (S)Sheol? Selah

49 Lord, where is your (T)steadfast love of old,
    which by your (U)faithfulness you swore to David?
50 (V)Remember, O Lord, how your servants are mocked,
    and how I bear in my (W)heart the insults[a] of all the many nations,
51 with which your enemies mock, O Lord,
    with which they mock (X)the footsteps of your (Y)anointed.

52 (Z)Blessed be the Lord forever!
Amen and Amen.
