Psalms 89:46-52

Psalms 89:46-52 AMP

¶How long, O LORD? Will You hide Yourself forever? Will Your wrath burn like fire? Remember how fleeting my lifetime is; For what vanity, [for what emptiness, for what futility, for what wisp of smoke] You have created all the sons of men! What man can live and not see death? Can he rescue his soul from the [powerful] hand of Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead)? Selah. ¶O Lord, where are Your former lovingkindnesses [so abundant in the days of David and Solomon], Which You swore to David in Your faithfulness? Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Your servants [scorned, insulted, and disgraced]; How I bear in my heart the reproach of all the many peoples, With which Your enemies have taunted, O LORD, With which they have mocked the footsteps of Your anointed. ¶Blessed be the LORD forevermore! Amen and Amen.
