Psalms 89:42-51
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 89
42You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries; You have made all his enemies rejoice. 43You also turn back the edge of his sword, And have not made him stand in battle. 44You have put an end to his splendor And cast his throne to the ground. 45You have shortened the days of his youth; You have covered him with shame. Selah 46How long, Lord? Will You hide Yourself forever? Will Your wrath burn like fire? 47Remember what my lifespan is; For what futility You have created all the sons of mankind! 48What man can live and not see death? Can he save his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah 49Where are Your former acts of favor, Lord, Which You swore to David in Your faithfulness? 50Remember, Lord, the taunt against Your servants; How I carry in my heart the taunts of all the many peoples, 51With which Your enemies have taunted, Lord, With which they have taunted the footsteps of Your anointed.King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 89
42You have lifted high the right hand of his foes; you have made all his enemies rejoice. 43You have also turned back his sharp sword and have not let him stand in battle. 44You have made his splendor cease and have overturned his throne.
45You have shortened the days of his youth; you have covered him with shame. Selah
46How long, Lord? Will you hide forever? Will your anger keep burning like fire?
47Remember how short my life is. Have you created everyone for nothing?
48What courageous person can live and never see death? Who can save himself from the power of Sheol? Selah
49Lord, where are the former acts of your faithful love that you swore to David in your faithfulness?
50Remember, Lord, the ridicule against your servants— in my heart I carry abuse from all the peoples—

Chapter 89
42You have exalted the right hand of his foes; you have made all his enemies rejoice. 43You have also turned back the edge of his sword, and you have not made him stand in battle. 44You have made his splendor to cease and cast his throne to the ground. 45You have cut short the days of his youth; you have covered him with shame. Selah 46 How long, O Lord? Will you hide yourself forever? How long will your wrath burn like fire? 47 Remember how short my time is! For what vanity you have created all the children of man! 48 What man can live and never see death? Who can deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah 49Lord, where is your steadfast love of old, which by your faithfulness you swore to David? 50 Remember, O Lord, how your servants are mocked, and how I bear in my heart the insults of all the many nations, 51with which your enemies mock, O Lord, with which they mock the footsteps of your anointed.New International Version
Chapter 89
42You have exalted the right hand of his foes; you have made all his enemies rejoice. 43Indeed, you have turned back the edge of his sword and have not supported him in battle. 44You have put an end to his splendor and cast his throne to the ground.
45You have cut short the days of his youth; you have covered him with a mantle of shame.
46How long, Lord? Will you hide yourself forever? How long will your wrath burn like fire?
47Remember how fleeting is my life. For what futility you have created all humanity!
48Who can live and not see death, or who can escape the power of the grave?
49Lord, where is your former great love, which in your faithfulness you swore to David?
50Remember, Lord, how your servant has been mocked, how I bear in my heart the taunts of all the nations,
New King James Version
Chapter 89
42You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries; You have made all his enemies rejoice. 43You have also turned back the edge of his sword, And have not sustained him in the battle. 44You have made his glory cease, And cast his throne down to the ground.
46How long, Lord? Will You hide Yourself forever? Will Your wrath burn like fire?
47Remember how short my time is; For what futility have You created all the children of men?
49Lord, where are Your former lovingkindnesses, Which You swore to David in Your truth?
50Remember, Lord, the reproach of Your servants— How I bear in my bosom the reproach of all the many peoples,
51 With which Your enemies have reproached, O Lord, With which they have reproached the footsteps of Your anointed.
