You have cut short the days of his youth; you have covered him with shame. Selah
May my accusers be clothed with dishonor; may they be wrapped in their own shame as in a cloak!
All day long my disgrace is before me, and shame has covered my face
Then my enemy will see, and shame will cover her who said to me, “Where is the Lord your God?” My eyes will look upon her; now she will be trampled down like the mire of the streets.
He has broken my strength in midcourse; he has shortened my days.
Your holy people held possession for a little while; our adversaries have trampled down your sanctuary.
My steadfast love I will keep for him forever, and my covenant will stand firm for him. I will establish his offspring forever and his throne as the days of the heavens.
May my accusers be put to shame and consumed; with scorn and disgrace may they be covered who seek my hurt.
So Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David to this day.
