45. The days of his youth hast thou shortened; thou hast covered him with shame. Selah.
46. How long, O Lord? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?
47. Remember how short my time is; why hast thou made all men subject to vanity?
48. What man is he that lives and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of Sheol? Selah.
49. Lord, where are thy former mercies, which thou didst sware unto David in thy truth?
50. Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy slaves; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of many peoples,
51. because thine enemies have dishonoured, O Lord; they have dishonoured the footsteps of thine anointed.
52. Blessed be the Lord for ever. Amen and Amen.
