|
\v 25 I will place his hand over the sea
|
|
\q and his right hand over the rivers.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 26 He will call out to me, 'You are my Father,
|
|
\q my God, and the rock of my salvation.'
|
|
|
|
\s5

|
\q
|
|
\v 31 if they break my rules
|
|
\q and do not keep my commands,

|
\q the faithful witness in the sky."

\q you have been angry with your anointed king.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 39 You have renounced the covenant of your servant.
|
|
\q You have desecrated his crown on the ground.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 40 You have broken down all his walls.
|
|
\q You have ruined his strongholds.
|
|
|

\q
|
|
\v 41 All who pass by have robbed him.

\q
|
|
\v 42 You have raised the right hand of his enemies;

\q you have made all his enemies rejoice.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 43 You turn back the edge of his sword
|
|
\q and have not made him stand when in battle.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 44 You have brought his splendor to an end;
|
|
\q you have brought down his throne to the ground.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 45 You have shortened the days of his youth.
|
|
\q You have covered him with shame.

\q How long will your anger burn like fire?
|

\q
|
|
\v 47 Oh, think about how short my time is,

|
\q and for what uselessness you have created all the children of mankind!

\q that you swore to David in your truthfulness?
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 50 Call to mind, Lord, the mocking directed against your servants
|
|
\q and how I bear in my heart so many insults from the nations.
|

\v 51 Your enemies hurl insults, Yahweh;

\q they mock the footsteps of your anointed one.
