Psalms 89:40 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 89:40

38 But You have ^acast off and ^babhorred,
You have been furious with Your¹ anointed.

39 You have¹ renounced the covenant of Your servant;
^aYou have profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.

40 You have broken down all his hedges;
You have brought his¹ strongholds to ruin.

41 All who pass by the way ^aplunder him;
He is a reproach to his neighbors.

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

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

44 You have made his¹ glory cease,
And cast his throne down to the ground.

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?
