Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.

Verse 43 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.

Du erhöhest die Rechte seiner Widersacher und erfreuest alle seine Feinde.
Embotaste asimismo el filo de su espada, Y no lo levantaste en la batalla.
También has vuelto atrás el filo de su espada y no lo has mantenido firme en la batalla.
Tu as fait reculer le tranchant de son glaive, Et tu ne l'as pas soutenu dans le combat.
Tu hai eziandio rintuzzato il taglio della sua spada, E non l’hai fatto star fermo in piè nella battaglia.
Também embotaste o fio da sua espada, e não o sustentaste na peleja.
你叫他的刀劍捲刃, 使他在戰爭中站立不住。
