37. like the moon, established forever,a faithful witness in the sky.” Selah
38. But You have spurned and rejected him;You have become enraged with Your anointed.
39. You have repudiated the covenant with Your servant;You have completely dishonored his crown.
40. You have broken down all his walls;You have reduced his fortified cities to ruins.
41. All who pass by plunder him; he has become an object of ridiculeto his neighbors.
42. You have lifted high the right hand of his foes;You have made all his enemies rejoice.
43. You have also turned back his sharp swordand have not let him stand in battle.
44. You have made his splendor ceaseand have overturned his throne.
