Psalm 89:40–44

40 You have broken through all his walls

and reduced his strongholds to ruins.

41 All who pass by have plundered him;

he has become the scorn of his neighbors.

42 You have exalted the right hand of his foes;

you have made all his enemies rejoice.

43 Indeed, you have turned back the edge of his sword

and have not supported him in battle.

44 You have put an end to his splendor

and cast his throne to the ground.

40 Thou hast broken down all his hedges;

Thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin.

41 All that pass by the way spoil him:

He is a reproach to his neighbours.

42 Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries;

Thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.

43 Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword,

And hast not made him to stand in the battle.

44 Thou hast made his glory to cease,

And cast his throne down to the ground.

40 You have broken down the walls protecting him

and ruined every fort defending him.

41 Everyone who comes along has robbed him,

and he has become a joke to his neighbors.

42 You have strengthened his enemies

and made them all rejoice.

43 You have made his sword useless

and refused to help him in battle.

44 You have ended his splendor

and overturned his throne.

40 You have broken down all his hedges;

You have brought his strongholds to ruin.

41 All who pass by the way plunder him;

He is a reproach to his neighbors.

42 You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries;

You have made all his enemies rejoice.

43 You have also turned back the edge of his sword,

And have not sustained him in the battle.

44 You have made his glory cease,

And cast his throne down to the ground.

40 You have torn down all his city walls;

you have turned his strong cities into ruins.

41 Everyone who passes by steals from him.

His neighbors insult him.

42 You have given strength to his enemies

and have made them all happy.

43 You have made his sword useless;

you did not help him stand in battle.

44 You have kept him from winning

and have thrown his throne to the ground.

40 Thou hast broken down all his hedges;

Thou hast brought his strongholds to ruin.

41 All that pass by the way rob him:

He is become a reproach to his neighbors.

42 Thou hast exalted the right hand of his adversaries;

Thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.

43 Yea, thou turnest back the edge of his sword,

And hast not made him to stand in the battle.

44 Thou hast made his brightness to cease,

And cast his throne down to the ground.

40 Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strongholds to ruin. 41 All that pass by the way plunder him; he is become a reproach to his neighbours. 42 Thou hast exalted the right hand of his oppressors; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice: 43 Yea, thou hast turned back the edge of his sword, and hast not made him stand in the battle. 44 Thou hast made his brightness to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground;

40 You have broken through all his walls 

and have laid his fortified cities in ruins. 

41 (Everyone who passed by robbed him. 

He has become the object of his neighbors’ scorn.) 

42 You held the right hand of his enemies high 

and made all of his adversaries rejoice. 

43 You even took his sword out of his hand 

and failed to support him in battle. 

44 You put an end to his splendor 

and hurled his throne to the ground. 

40 You have broken down all his walls;

You have reduced his fortified cities to ruins.

41 All who pass by plunder him;

he has become an object of ridicule

to his neighbors.

42 You have lifted high the right hand of his foes;

You have made all his enemies rejoice.

43 You have also turned back his sharp sword

and have not let him stand in battle.

44 You have made his splendor cease

and have overturned his throne.

40 You have broken through all his walls;

you have laid his strongholds in ruins.

41 All who pass by plunder him;

he has become the scorn of his neighbors.

42 You have exalted the right hand of his foes;

you have made all his enemies rejoice.

43 Moreover, you have turned back the edge of his sword,

and you have not supported him in battle.

44 You have removed the scepter from his hand

and hurled his throne to the ground.

40 You have broken down all his walls;

you have made his fortifications a ruin.

41 All passing along the road plunder him;

he has become a taunt to his neighbors.

42 You have raised the right hand of his adversaries.

You have made all his enemies rejoice.

43 You have also turned back the edge of his sword

and have not helped him stand his ground in the battle.

44 You have made his splendor to cease,

and cast his throne to the ground.

40 You have broken through the walls around his city.

You have completely destroyed his secure places.

41 All those who pass by have carried off what belonged to him.

His neighbors make fun of him.

42 You have made his enemies strong.

You have made all of them happy.

43 You have made his sword useless.

You have not helped him in battle.

44 You have put an end to his glory.

You have knocked his throne to the ground.

40 You have broken down all his walls;

You have brought his strongholds to ruin.

41 All who pass along the way plunder him;

He has become a reproach to his neighbors.

42 You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries;

You have made all his enemies rejoice.

43 You also turn back the edge of his sword

And have not made him stand in battle.

44 You have made his splendor to cease

And cast his throne to the ground.
