A Prayer for those who have fallen from Grace

Psalm 89:38–52

[38] But you have rejected, you have spurned,

you have been very angry with your anointed one.

[39] You have renounced the covenant with your servant

and have defiled his crown in the dust.

[40] You have broken through all his walls

and reduced his strongholds to ruins.

[41] All who pass by have plundered him;

he has become the scorn of his neighbors.

[42] You have exalted the right hand of his foes;

you have made all his enemies rejoice.

[43] Indeed, you have turned back the edge of his sword

and have not supported him in battle.

[44] You have put an end to his splendor

and cast his throne to the ground.

[45] You have cut short the days of his youth;

you have covered him with a mantle of shame.

[46] How long, Lord? Will you hide yourself forever?

How long will your wrath burn like fire?

[47] Remember how fleeting is my life.

For what futility you have created all humanity!

[48] Who can live and not see death,

or who can escape the power of the grave?

[49] Lord, where is your former great love,

which in your faithfulness you swore to David?

[50] Remember, Lord, how your servant has been mocked,

how I bear in my heart the taunts of all the nations,

[51] the taunts with which your enemies, Lord, have mocked,

with which they have mocked every step of your anointed one.

[52] Praise be to the Lord forever!

Amen and Amen.
