Psalms 89:45

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.

You have cut short the days of his youth; You have covered him with shame. Selah

46 How long, O LORD? Will You hide Yourself forever? Will Your wrath keep burning like fire?

47 Remember the briefness of my lifespan! For what futility You have created all men!

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.
