Psalms 89:47
Compare all
45 The days of his youth You have shortened;
You have covered him with shame. Selah
46 How long, Lord?
Will You hide Yourself forever?
Will Your wrath burn like fire?
47 Remember how short my time ais;
For what bfutility have You created all the children of men? 
48 What man can live and not1 see adeath?
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? 
50 Remember, Lord, the reproach of Your servants—
aHow I bear in my bosom the reproach of all the many peoples, 
51 aWith which Your enemies have reproached, O Lord,
With which they have reproached the footsteps of Your1 anointed. 
52 aBlessed be the Lord forevermore!
Amen and Amen.

Psalms 89:47

Short - Our time, the time of our king and kingdom, in whose name the psalmist puts up this petition. Wherefore - Wherefore hast thou made us and our king (and consequently all other men, whose condition is nothing better than ours) in vain, or to so little purpose? Didst thou raise us and him, settle the crown upon David's head by a solemn covenant, and vouchsafe so many and great promises and privileges, and all this but for a few years, that our crown and glory should be taken from us, within a little time after it was put upon our heads?
