42 You lifted high his foes’ strong hand.You gave all his enemies reason to celebrate.
43 Yes, you dulled the edge of his swordand didn’t support him in battle.
44 You’ve put an end to his splendor.You’ve thrown his throne to the ground.
45 You’ve shortened the prime of his life.You’ve wrapped him up in shame. Selah
46 How long will it last, Lord?Will you hide yourself forever?How long will your wrath burn like fire?
47 Remember how short my life is!Have you created humans for no good reason?
48 Who lives their life without seeing death?Who is ever rescued from the grip of the grave? Selah
