³⁸ But you have rejected, you have cast off,
you have been very angry with your anointed one,
³⁹ and you have renounced the covenant with your servant,
and you have thrown his crown on the ground.
⁴⁰ You have broken down all his walls
and reduced his fortresses to rubble.
⁴¹ All who pass by on the road have plundered him.
He is despised by his neighbors.
⁴² You have raised up the right hand of his foes.
You have made all his enemies happy.
⁴³ Indeed, you have deflected the edge of his sword,
and you have not let him stand up in battle.
⁴⁴ You have put an end to his majesty,
and you have hurled his throne to the ground.
⁴⁵ You have cut short the days of his youth. Interlude
You have clothed him with shame.
⁴⁶ How long, O Lord? Will you hide yourself forever?
Will your wrath burn like fire?
⁴⁷ Remember me! What is my life!
For you have created such futility for all the children of Adam!
⁴⁸ Can anyone live and not see death, Interlude
or save his life from the power of the grave?
⁴⁹ Where are your former mercies, O Lord,
which you swore to David in your faithfulness?
⁵⁰ Remember, Lord, the scorn your servants have ^[1] endured.
(I carry on my heart all the many peoples!) ^[2]
51 Remember the scorn
    with which your enemies have been scornful, O Lord,
    with which they have scorned the steps of your Anointed One.
