^{40 Ref} All his walls are broken down; you have given his strong towers to destruction.

^{41 Ref} All those who come by take away his goods; he is laughed at by his neighbours.

^{42 Ref} You have given power to the right hand of his haters; you have made glad all those who are against him.

^{43 Ref} His sword is turned back; you have not been his support in the fight.

^{44 Ref} You have put an end to his glory: the seat of his kingdom has been levelled to the earth.

^{45 Ref} You have made him old before his time; he is covered with shame. (Selah.)
