38But You have Ps 44:9cast off and Deut 32:19; 1 Chr 28:9rejected,
You have been full of wrath Lit withagainst Your Ps 20:6; 89:20, 51anointed.

39You have Ps 78:59; Lam 2:7spurned the covenant of Your servant;
You have Ps 74:7profaned Lam 5:16his crown Lit to the groundin the dust.

40You have Ps 80:12broken down all his walls;
You have Lam 2:2, 5brought his strongholds to ruin.

41Ps 80:12All who pass along the way plunder him;
He has become a Ps 44:13; 69:9, 19; 79:4reproach to his neighbors.

42You have Ps 13:2exalted the right hand of his adversaries;
You have Ps 80:6made all his enemies rejoice.

43You also turn back the edge of his sword
And have Ps 44:10not made him stand in battle.

44You have made his Lit clearness, lusterEzek 28:7splendor to cease
And cast his throne to the ground.

45You have Ps 102:23shortened the days of his youth;
You have Ps 44:15; 71:13; 109:29covered him with shame. Selah.

46Ps 13:1; 44:24How long, O LORD?
Will You hide Yourself forever?

Lit My bearing in my bosomHow I bear in my bosom the reproach of all the many peoples,

51With which Ps 74:10, 18, 22Your enemies have reproached, O LORD,
With which they have reproached the footsteps of Ps 89:38Your anointed.
