THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Psalms 89:48 in context
Psalms 89:45–51
45
You have shortened the days of his youth.
You have covered him with shame. Selah.
46
How long, LORD?
Will you hide yourself forever?
Will your wrath burn like fire?
47
Remember how short my time is,
for what vanity you have created all the children of men!
49
Lord, where are your former loving kindnesses,
which you swore to David in your faithfulness?
50
Remember, Lord, the reproach of your servants,
how I bear in my heart the taunts of all the mighty peoples,
51
With which your enemies have mocked, LORD,
with which they have mocked the footsteps of your anointed one.
