Psalm 89:41-45 Part 2 of 2

Everyone who comes along has robbed him,

    and he has become a joke to his neighbors.

You have strengthened his enemies

    and made them all rejoice.

You have made his sword useless

    and refused to help him in battle.

You have ended his splendor

    and overturned his throne.

You have made him old before his time

    and publicly disgraced him.

 

You have strengthened his enemies and made them all rejoice. You have made his sword useless and refused to help him in battle.
