41All who pass along the road have plundered him; he has become an object of scorn to his neighbors.

42You have raised the right hand of his foes; you have made all his enemies rejoice.

43You have even turned back the edge of his sword; you have not enabled him to stand in battle.

44You have brought his splendor to an end and cast his throne to the ground.

45You have shortened the days of his youth; you have covered him with shame. Selah
