Psalms 89:41-46
Psalms 89:38-52 The Message (MSG)
But GOD, you did walk off and leave us, you lost your temper with the one you anointed. You tore up the promise you made to your servant, you stomped his crown in the mud. You blasted his home to kingdom come, reduced his city to a pile of rubble Picked clean by wayfaring strangers, a joke to all the neighbors. You declared a holiday for all his enemies, and they’re celebrating for all they’re worth. Angry, you opposed him in battle, refused to fight on his side; You robbed him of his splendor, humiliated this warrior, ground his kingly honor in the dirt. You took the best years of his life and left him an impotent, ruined husk. How long do we put up with this, GOD? Are you gone for good? Will you hold this grudge forever? Remember my sorrow and how short life is. Did you create men and women for nothing but this? We’ll see death soon enough. Everyone does. And there’s no back door out of hell. So where is the love you’re so famous for, Lord? What happened to your promise to David? Take a good look at your servant, dear Lord; I’m the butt of the jokes of all nations, The taunting jokes of your enemies, GOD, as they dog the steps of your dear anointed. Blessed be GOD forever and always! Yes. Oh, yes.
Psalms 89:41-46 King James Version (KJV)
All that pass by the way spoil him: He is a reproach to his neighbours. Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; Thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice. Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, And hast not made him to stand in the battle. Thou hast made his glory to cease, And cast his throne down to the ground. The days of his youth hast thou shortened: Thou hast covered him with shame. Selah. How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? Shall thy wrath burn like fire?

Psalms 89:41-46 The Passion Translation (TPT)
All the passersby attack and rob me while my neighbors mock! Instead of fighting for me, you take the side of my enemies, even giving them strength to subdue me, and then watched them celebrate their victory! You are no longer helping me in battle. You’ve forsaken me to the swords of those who would strike me down. You’ve made my regal splendor to decrease and allowed my rule to be overthrown. Because of you, I’ve become old before my time, and I’m publicly disgraced! Pause in his presence How long will you hide your love from me? Have you left me for good? How long will your anger continue to burn against me?
