Compare all
43 You have also turned back the edge of his sword,
And have not sustained him in the battle.

For what bfutility have You created all the children of men?

Can he deliver his life from the power of1 the grave? Selah 
49 Lord, where are Your former lovingkindnesses,
Which You aswore to David bin Your truth?
