44 His sword is turned back; you have not been his support in the fight.
45 You have put an end to his glory: the seat of his kingdom has been levelled to the earth.
46 You have made him old before his time; he is covered with shame. (Selah.)
47 How long, O Lord, will you Keep yourself for ever from our eyes? how long will your wrath be burning like fire?
48 See how short my time is; why have you made all men for no purpose?
49 What man now living will not see death? will he be able to keep back his soul from the underworld? (Selah.)
50 Lord, where are your earlier mercies? where is the oath which you made to David in unchanging faith?
