45 The days of his protected youth‖ thou hast diminished; ‖ with ignominious shame thou hast ‖ quite overwhelmed him. ‖ Selah. ‖
46 ETERNAL God, How long wilt thou‖ conceal thy self? forever? ‖ Shall thy incensed wrath burn like ‖ to a devouring Fire? ‖
47 Remember thou, that as for me, ‖ how little is my time! ‖ Wherefore hast thou created all ‖ the sons of Men in vain? ‖
48 What Man shall live, so that he shall‖ never see Death at all? ‖ From the hand of the pit shall he‖ deliver his own Soul?‖ Selah.‖
