Psalms 89:42

40 You have broken down all his walls; You have reduced his strongholds to rubble.

41 All who pass by plunder him; he has become a reproach to his neighbors.

You have exalted the right hand of his foes; You have made all his enemies rejoice.

43 You have bent the edge of his sword and have not sustained him in battle.

44 You have ended his splendor and cast his throne to the ground.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
