22His enemies will never succeed against him; the wicked will not defeat him.H341H5378H1121H5766H6031
23I will crush his foes and kill everyone who hates him.H3807H6862H6440H5062H8130
24I will love him and be loyal to him; I will make him always victorious.H530H2617H8034H7161H7311
25I will extend his kingdom from the Mediterranean to the Euphrates River.H7760H3027H3220H3225H5104
26He will say to me, 'You are my father and my God; you are my protector and savior.'H7121H1H410H6697H3444

31if they disregard my instructions and do not keep my commandments,H2490H2708H8104H4687

Lament over the Defeat of the King

38But you are angry with your chosen king; you have deserted and rejected him.H2186H3988H5674H4899
39You have broken your covenant with your servant and thrown his crown in the dirt.H5010H1285H5650H2490H5145H776
40You have torn down the walls of his city and left his forts in ruins.H6555H1448H7760H4013H4288
41All who pass by steal his belongings; all his neighbors laugh at him.H5674H1870H8155H2781H7934
42You have given the victory to his enemies; you have made them all happy.H7311H3225H6862H341H8055
43You have made his weapons useless and let him be defeated in battle.H7725H6697H2719H6965H4421
44You have taken away his royal scepter and knocked his throne to the ground.H2892H7673H4048H3678H4048H776
45You have made him old before his time and covered him with disgrace.H3117H5934H7114H5844H955H5542

A Prayer for Deliverance

46LORD, will you hide yourself forever? How long will your anger burn like fire?H3068H5641H5331H2534H1197H784
47Remember how short my life is; remember that you created all of us mortal!H2142H2465H1254H1121H120H7723
48Who can live and never die? How can we humans keep ourselves from the grave?H1397H2421H7200H4194H4422H5315H3027H7585H5542
49Lord, where are the former proofs of your love? Where are the promises you made to David?H136H7223H2617H7650H1732H530
50Don't forget how I, your servant, am insulted, how I endure all the curses of the heathen.H2142H136H2781H5650H5375H2436H7227H5971
51Your enemies insult your chosen king, O LORD! They insult him wherever he goes.H341H2778H3068H2778H6119H4899
52Praise the LORD forever! Amen! Amen!H1288H3068H5769H543H543
