¹ "It shall be established forever like the moon, And the witness in the heavens is ever faithful." Selah.

² But [in apparent contradiction of all this] You [the faithful LORD] have cast off and rejected; You have been full of wrath against Your anointed.

³ You have spurned and repudiated the covenant with Your servant; You have profaned his crown [by casting it] in the dust.

⁴ You have broken down all his [city] walls; You have brought his strongholds to ruin.

⁵ All who pass along the road rob him; He has become the scorn of his neighbors.

⁶ You have exalted the right hand of his foes; You have made all his enemies rejoice.

⁷ Also, You have turned back the edge of his sword And have not made him [strong enough] to stand in battle.

⁸ You have put an end to his splendor And have hurled his throne to the ground.

⁹ You have shortened the days of his youth; You have covered him with shame. Selah.

¹⁰ How long, O LORD? Will You hide Yourself forever? Will Your wrath burn like fire?

¹¹ Remember how fleeting my lifetime is; For what vanity, [for what emptiness, for what futility, for what wisp of smoke] You have created all the sons of men!

¹² What man can live and not see death? Can he rescue his soul from the [powerful] hand of Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead)? Selah.

¹³ O Lord, where are Your former lovingkindnesses [so abundant in the days of David and Solomon], Which You swore to David in Your faithfulness?

¹⁴ Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Your servants [scorned, insulted, and disgraced]; How I bear in[4] my heart the reproach of all the many peoples,

¹⁵ With which Your enemies have taunted, O LORD, With which they have mocked the footsteps of Your anointed.

¹⁶ Blessed be the LORD forevermore! Amen and Amen.

¹⁷ A Prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, You have been our dwelling place [our refuge, our sanctuary, our stability] in all generations.

¹⁸ Before the mountains were born Or before You had given birth to the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are [the eternal] God.

¹⁹ You turn man back to dust, And say, "Return [to the earth], O children of [mortal] men!"

²⁰ For a[1] thousand years in Your sight Are like yesterday when it is past, Or as a watch in the night.

²¹ You have swept them away like a flood, they fall asleep [forgotten as soon as they are gone]; In the morning they are like grass which grows anew—

²² In the morning it flourishes and springs up; In the evening it wilts and withers away.
