King James Version

36

His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.

37

It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.

38

But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.

39

Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.

40

Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin.

41

All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours.

42

Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.

43

Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.

44

Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.

45

The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah.

46

How long, Lord? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?

47

Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?

48

What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.

49

Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth?

50

Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people;

51

Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O Lord; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.

52

Blessed be the Lord for evermore. Amen, and Amen.

    “His seed shall endure for ever, And his throne as the sun before me. It shall be established for ever as the moon, Andasthe faithful witness in the sky. [Selah But thou hast cast off and rejected, Thou hast been wroth with thine anointed. Thou hast abhorred the covenant of thy servant: Thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground. Thou hast broken down all his hedges; Thou hast brought his strongholds to ruin. All that pass by the way rob him: He is become a reproach to his neighbors. Thou hast exalted the right hand of his adversaries; Thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice. Yea, thou turnest back the edge of his sword, And hast not made him to stand in the battle. Thou hast made his brightness 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, O Jehovah? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? How longshall thy wrath burn like fire? Oh remember how short my time is: For what vanity hast thou created all the children of men! What man is he that shall live and not see death, That shall deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? [Selah Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, Which thou swarest unto David in thy faithfulness? Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; How I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty peoples, Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O Jehovah, Wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed. Blessed be Jehovah for evermore. Amen, and Amen. ”

    “His seed will endure forever, his throne like the sun before me. It will be established forever like the moon, the faithful witness in the sky." Selah. But you have rejected and spurned. You have been angry with your anointed. You have renounced the covenant of your servant. You have defiled his crown in the dust. You have broken down all his hedges. You have brought his strongholds to ruin. All who pass by the way rob him. He has become a reproach to his neighbors. You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries. You have made all of his enemies rejoice. Yes, you turn back the edge of his sword, and haven't supported him in battle. You have ended his splendor, and thrown his throne down to the ground. You have shortened the days of his youth. You have covered him with shame. Selah. How long, Yahweh? Will you hide yourself forever? Will your wrath burn like fire? Remember how short my time is! For what vanity have you created all the children of men! What man is he who shall live and not see death, who shall deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah. Lord, where are your former loving kindnesses, which you swore to David in your faithfulness? Remember, Lord, the reproach of your servants, how I bear in my heart the taunts of all the mighty peoples, With which your enemies have mocked, Yahweh, with which they have mocked the footsteps of your anointed one. Blessed be Yahweh forevermore. Amen, and Amen. BOOK IV A Prayer by Moses, the man of God.”

    “His dynasty will last forever. His throne will endure before me, like the sun, it will remain stable, like the moon, his throne will endure like the skies.”(Selah) But you have spurned and rejected him; you are angry with your chosen king. You have repudiated your covenant with your servant; you have thrown his crown to the ground. You have broken down all his walls; you have made his strongholds a heap of ruins. All who pass by have robbed him; he has become an object of disdain to his neighbors. You have allowed his adversaries to be victorious, and all his enemies to rejoice. You turn back his sword from the adversary, and have not sustained him in battle. You have brought to an end his splendor, and have knocked his throne to the ground. You have cut short his youth, and have covered him with shame.(Selah) How long, O LORD, will this last? Will you remain hidden forever? Will your anger continue to burn like fire? Take note of my brief lifespan! Why do you make all people so mortal? No man can live on without experiencing death, or deliver his life from the power of Sheol.(Selah) Where are your earlier faithful deeds, O Lord, the ones performed in accordance with your reliable oath to David? Take note, O Lord, of the way your servants are taunted, and of how I must bear so many insults from people! Your enemies, O LORD, hurl insults; they insult your chosen king as they dog his footsteps. The LORD deserves praise forevermore! We agree! We agree!”

    “His seed will not come to an end for ever; the seat of his kingdom will be like the sun before me. It will be fixed for ever like the moon; and the witness in heaven is true. (Selah.) But you have put him away in disgust; you have been angry with the king of your selection. You have made your agreement with your servant of no effect: you have had no respect for his crown, it has come down even to the earth. All his walls are broken down; you have given his strong towers to destruction. All those who come by take away his goods; he is laughed at by his neighbours. You have given power to the right hand of his haters; you have made glad all those who are against him. His sword is turned back; you have not been his support in the fight. You have put an end to his glory: the seat of his kingdom has been levelled to the earth. You have made him old before his time; he is covered with shame. (Selah.) How long, O Lord, will you Keep yourself for ever from our eyes? how long will your wrath be burning like fire? See how short my time is; why have you made all men for no purpose? What man now living will not see death? will he be able to keep back his soul from the underworld? (Selah.) Lord, where are your earlier mercies? where is the oath which you made to David in unchanging faith? Keep in mind, O Lord, the shame of your servants, and how the bitter words of all the people have come into my heart; The bitter words of your haters, O Lord, shaming the footsteps of your king. Let the Lord be praised for ever. So be it, So be it.”
