30 If they will forsake sons his law my and in judgments my not they will walk!
If his children forsake My law, and walk not in Mine ordinances;
31 If statutes my they will violate and commandments my not they will keep.

38 And you you have spurned and you have rejected you have been furious with anointed your.

44 You have made cease from luster his and throne his to the ground you have thrown.
Thou hast made his brightness to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.
45 You have made short [the] days of youth his you have wrapped on him shame (Selah)

46 Until when? O Yahweh will you hide yourself? to perpetuity will it burn? like a fire anger your.
How long, O LORD, wilt Thou hide Thyself for ever? How long shall Thy wrath burn like fire?
47 Remember I what? [is] lifespan concerning what? emptiness have you created all [the] children of humankind.
O remember how short my time is; for what vanity hast Thou created all the children of men!

What man is he that liveth and shall not see death, that shall deliver his soul from the power of the grave? (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
49 Where? - [are] covenant loyalti your former - O Lord [which] you swore an oath to David in faithfulness your.
Where are Thy former mercies, O Lord, which Thou didst swear unto David in Thy faithfulness?

Remember, Lord, the taunt of Thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the taunt of so many peoples;
51 Which they have reproached enemies your - O Yahweh which they have reproached [the] footprints of anointed your.
Wherewith Thine enemies have taunted, O LORD, wherewith they have taunted the footsteps of Thine anointed.
52 [be] blessed Yahweh for ever amen - and amen.
Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.
