Psalms 89:47


← Psalms 89:46 Psalms 89:47 (KJV) Psalms 89:48 →
How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?
Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?
What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.
