Lament over the Defeat of the King (PSA 89:38-45)

[89:38] But you are angry with your chosen king; you have deserted and rejected him.

[89:39] You have broken your covenant with your servant and thrown his crown in the dirt.

[89:40] You have torn down the walls of his city and left his forts in ruins.

[89:41] All who pass by steal his belongings; all his neighbors laugh at him.

[89:42] You have given the victory to his enemies; you have made them all happy.

[89:43] You have made his weapons useless and let him be defeated in battle.

[89:44] You have taken away his royal scepter and knocked his throne to the ground.

[89:45] You have made him old before his time and covered him with disgrace.
