89:37 it will remain stable, like the moon, 1
his throne will endure like the skies.” 2 (Selah)
89:38 But you have spurned 3 and rejected him;
you are angry with your chosen king. 4
89:39 You have repudiated 5 your covenant with your servant; 6
you have thrown his crown to the ground. 7
89:40 You have broken down all his 8 walls;
you have made his strongholds a heap of ruins.
89:41 All who pass by 9 have robbed him;
he has become an object of disdain to his neighbors.
89:42 You have allowed his adversaries to be victorious, 10
and all his enemies to rejoice.
89:43 You turn back 11 his sword from the adversary, 12
and have not sustained him in battle. 13
89:44 You have brought to an end his splendor, 14
and have knocked 15 his throne to the ground.
89:45 You have cut short his youth, 16
and have covered him with shame. (Selah)
