40. Thou hast broken down all his hedges, Thou hast made his fenced places a ruin.
41. Spoiled him have all passing by the way, He hath been a reproach to his neighbours,
42. Thou hast exalted the right hand of his adversaries, Thou hast caused all his enemies to rejoice.
43. Also--Thou turnest back the sharpness of his sword, And hast not established him in battle,
44. Hast caused [him] to cease from his brightness, And his throne to the earth hast cast down.
45. Thou hast shortened the days of his youth, Hast covered him over [with] shame. Selah.
46. Till when, O Jehovah, art Thou hidden? For ever doth Thy fury burn as fire?
47. Remember, I pray Thee, what [is] life-time? Wherefore in vain hast Thou created All the sons of men?
48. Who [is] the man that liveth, and doth not see death? He delivereth his soul from the hand of Sheol. Selah.
