Selah. 38 But thou hast abhorred & forsake thine annoynted: & art sore displeased at him. 39 Thou hast broken the couenaunt of thy seruaunt: thou hast disgraced his crowne, castyng it on the grounde. 40 Thou hast ouerthrowe all his walles: and broken downe his strong holdes. 41 All they that go by the way spoyle hym: he is become a rebuke vnto his neyghbours. 42 Thou hast exalted the ryght hande of his enemies: and made all his aduersaries to reioyce. 43 Thou hast turned the harde edge of his sworde: and thou hast not lifted him vp in the battayle. 44 Thou hast brought his noble estate to an ende: and hast cast his throne downe to the grounde. 45 Thou hast shortened the dayes of his youth: and thou hast couered him with shame. Selah. 46 O God howe long wylt thou hyde thy selfe? for euer? shall thy wrath burne lyke fire? 47 Remember what I am, howe short my tyme is of lyfe: wherfore hast thou created in vayne all the sonnes of men? 48 What man is he that lyueth and shall not see death? can he delyuer his owne soule from the hande of hell? Selah. 49 Lorde where are become thy former olde louyng kyndnesses: which thou dydst sweare vnto Dauid by thy fayth that thou wouldest perfourme. 50 Remember O Lorde the dishonour * of thy seruauntes: I beare in my bosome the dishonour of all people that be mightie. 51 Who beyng thine enemies O God do dishonour: who do dishonour the footsteppes of thine annoynted. 52 Blessed be God for euermore: so be it, and so be it.
