Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.

Verse 42 is found in chapter 89 of Psalms. Psalm 89 combines praise for divine mercy with a profound crisis concerning the Davidic promise. The first part remembers the covenant with David and the promise of stability for his throne; the second describes a situation in which the king appears rejected and humiliated. The tension between promise and reality constitutes the center of the psalm. The conclusion does not completely resolve the crisis, but ends by affirming the blessing of the Lord.

Es berauben ihn alle, die vorübergehen; er ist seinen Nachbarn ein Spott geworden.
Has ensalzado la diestra de sus enemigos; Has alegrado a todos sus adversarios.
Has levantado la mano derecha de sus adversarios y has alegrado a todos sus enemigos.
Tu as élevé la droite de ses adversaires, Tu as réjoui tous ses ennemis;
Tu hai alzata la destra de’ suoi avversari; Tu hai rallegrati tutti i suoi nemici.
Exaltaste a destra dos seus adversários; fizeste com que todos os seus inimigos se regozijassem.
你高舉了他敵人的右手, 使他所有的仇敵歡喜。
