verse 45 And of his youthful years the days thou hast diminished: All over with confusion thou hast him covered.
(7) verse 46 How long Jehovah, wilt thou hide thy self for evermore? Like as a burning fire abide shall thy displeasure sore? verse 47 To thy remembrance do thou call how short a time have I: Wherefore hast thou created all mens sons to vanity?
verse 48 What man alive in strength so great that death he shall not see? That from the hand of grave shall set his soul at liberty; verse 49 Thy former loving kindnesses O Lord where are they now? Which in thy truth and faithfulness to David thou didst vow?
verse 50 O Lord do thou thy servants scorn unto remembrance call; How in my breast I have it born, from mighty people all. verse 51 Wherewith O Lord thine enemies do cast reproach upon: Wherewith they do reproach the steps of thine anointed one.
