Psalms 89:41 - Compare All Versions

All who pass by have plundered him; he has become the scorn of his neighbors.

All who pass by plunder him; he has become the scorn of his neighbors.

Everyone who comes along has robbed him, and he has become a joke to his neighbors.

All who pass by plunder him;  he has become an object of ridicule to his neighbors.

All that pass by the way spoil him: He is a reproach to his neighbours.

All who pass by the way plunder him; He is a reproach to his neighbors.

But GOD, you did walk off and leave us, you lost your temper with the one you anointed. You tore up the promise you made to your servant, you stomped his crown in the mud. You blasted his home to kingdom come, reduced his city to a pile of rubble Picked clean by wayfaring strangers, a joke to all the neighbors. You declared a holiday for all his enemies, and they’re celebrating for all they’re worth. Angry, you opposed him in battle, refused to fight on his side; You robbed him of his splendor, humiliated this warrior, ground his kingly honor in the dirt. You took the best years of his life and left him an impotent, ruined husk. How long do we put up with this, GOD? Are you gone for good? Will you hold this grudge forever? Remember my sorrow and how short life is. Did you create men and women for nothing but this? We’ll see death soon enough. Everyone does. And there’s no back door out of hell. So where is the love you’re so famous for, Lord? What happened to your promise to David? Take a good look at your servant, dear Lord; I’m the butt of the jokes of all nations, The taunting jokes of your enemies, GOD, as they dog the steps of your dear anointed. Blessed be GOD forever and always! Yes. Oh, yes.

All who pass along the way plunder him; He has become a disgrace to his neighbors.

All who pass along the road rob him; He has become the scorn of his neighbors.

All who pass by have robbed him; he has become an object of disdain to his neighbors.
