Psalm 89:40

Perplexity About God's Promises

³⁹
You have spurned and repudiated the covenant with Your servant;
You have profaned his crown [by casting it] in the dust.
⁴⁰ 
You have broken down all his [city] walls;
You have brought his strongholds to ruin.
⁴¹
All who pass along the road rob him;
He has become the scorn of his neighbors.
