Salmene 89,45

43 Du vender også bort hans sverds egg,
Og har ikke støttet ham i striden.

44 Du har gjort slutt på hans prakt
Og kastet hans trone til jorden.

Du har forkortet hans ungdoms dager;
Du har omhyllet ham i vanære.
Sela

46 Hvor lenge, Herre? Vil du skjule deg for alltid?
Vil din vrede brenne som ild?

47 Husk hvor kortlivet jeg er;
For hvilken forgjengelighet du har skapt alle menneskenes barn!

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.
