Psalms 89:46-52

Psalms 89

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

46How long, O LORD? Will You hide Yourself forever? Will Your wrath keep burning like fire?

47Remember the briefness of my lifespan! For what futility You have created all men!

48What man can live and never see death? Can he deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah

49Where, O Lord, is Your loving devotion of old, which You faithfully swore to David?

50Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Your servants, which I bear in my heart from so many people—

51how Your enemies have taunted, O LORD, and have mocked every step of Your anointed one!

52Blessed be the LORD forever! Amen and amen.
