You have thrown your servant’s crown into the dirt.You have broken through the walls around his city. You have completely destroyed his secure places.All those who pass by have carried off what belonged to him. His neighbors make fun of him.You have made his enemies strong. You have made all of them happy.You have made his sword useless. You have not helped him in battle.You have put an end to his glory. You have knocked his throne to the ground.You have cut short the days of his life. You have covered him with shame.Lord, how long will you hide yourself? Will it be forever? How long will your anger burn like fire?Remember how short my life is. You have created all people for such a useless purpose!Who can live and not die? Who can escape the power of the grave?Lord, where is the great love you used to have? You faithfully promised it to David.Lord, remember how my enemies have made fun of me. I’ve had to put up with mean words from all the nations.Lord, your enemies have said mean things. They have laughed at everything your anointed king has done.Give praise to the Lord forever! Amen and Amen.
