Psalms 89:46
Compare all
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? 
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 89:46

How long, Lord? - How long is this to continue? Can it be that this is to continue always? Is there to be no change for the better? Are the promises which have been made, never to be fulfilled? Compare Psalms 13:1, note; Psalms 77:7-9, notes.

Wilt thou hide thyself for ever? - Thy favor. Wilt thou never come forth and manifest thyself as the Helper of those who trust in thee?

Shall thy wrath burn like fire? - Fire which entirely consumes; fire which never ceases as long as there is anything to burn; fire which never puts itself out, but which wholly destroys that on which it preys.
