32 If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments: I
will visit their offences with the rod, and their sin with scourges.
33 Nevertheless, my loving-kindness will I not utterly take from
him: nor suffer my truth to fail.
34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone
out of my lips: I have sworn once by my holiness, that I will not
fail David.
35 His seed shall endure for ever: and his seat is like as the
sun before me.
36 He shall stand fast for evermore as the moon: and as the
faithful witness in heaven.
37 But thou hast abhorred and forsaken thine Anointed: and art
displeased at him.
38 Thou hast broken the covenant of thy servant: and cast his
crown to the ground.
39 Thou hast overthrown all his hedges: and broken down his strong
holds.
40 All they that go by spoil him: and he is become a reproach to
his neighbours.
41 Thou hast set up the right hand of his enemies: and made all
his adversaries to rejoice.
42 Thou hast taken away the edge of his sword: and givest him not
victory in the battle.
43 Thou hast put out his glory: and cast his throne down to the
ground.
44 The days of his youth hast thou shortened: and covered him
with dishonour.
45 Lord, how long wilt thou hide thyself, for ever: and shall
thy wrath burn like fire?
46 O remember how short my time is: where fore hast thou made
all men for nought?
47 What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death: and shall
he deliver his soul from the hand of hell?
48 Lord, where are thy old loving-kindnesses: which thou swarest
unto David in thy truth?
49 Remember, Lord, the rebuke that thy servants have: and how I
do bear in my bosom the rebukes of many people;
50 Wherewith thine enemies have blasphemed thee, and slandered
the footsteps of thine Anointed: Praised be the Lord for evermore.
Amen, and Amen.
