Psalms 89 — Context

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?
