Psalm 89:38-45

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³⁸ But now thou hast cast off and rejected,
    thou art full of wrath against thy anointed.
³⁹ Thou hast renounced the covenant with thy servant;
    thou hast defiled his crown in the dust.
⁴⁰ Thou hast breached all his walls;
    thou hast laid his strongholds in ruins.
⁴¹ All that pass by despoil him;
    he has become the scorn of his neighbors.
⁴² Thou hast exalted the right hand of his foes;
    thou hast made all his enemies rejoice.
⁴³ Yea, thou hast turned back the edge of his sword,
    and thou hast not made him stand in battle.
⁴⁴ Thou hast removed the scepter from his hand,^[a]
    and cast his throne to the ground.
⁴⁵ Thou hast cut short the days of his youth;
    thou hast covered him with shame.Selah
