You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries;
You have made all his enemies rejoice. |
|
|
|

|
You also turn back the edge of his sword And
have not made him stand in battle. |
|
|
|
|

You have made his splendor to cease And cast
his throne to the ground. |

You have shortened the days of his youth; You
have covered him with shame. Selah. |

You have created all the sons of men! |

Which You swore to David in Your faithfulness? |

Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Your servants;
How I bear in my bosom the reproach of all the many peoples, |
|
|
|
|
| Psalm 89:51 |
|
With which Your enemies have reproached, O LORD,
With which they have reproached the footsteps of Your anointed. |
|
|
|

Blessed be the LORD forever! Amen and Amen. |
