38. But you have rejected, you have spurned,you have been very angry with your anointed one.
39. You have renounced the covenant with your servantand have defiled his crown in the dust.
40. You have broken through all his wallsand reduced his strongholds to ruins.
41. All who pass by have plundered him;he has become the scorn of his neighbours.
42. You have exalted the right hand of his foes;you have made all his enemies rejoice.
43. Indeed, you have turned back the edge of his swordand have not supported him in battle.
44. You have put an end to his splendourand cast his throne to the ground.
