“Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth: thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.”
"You prevail forever against a man, and he passes; you change his countenance, and send him away." God's victory over humanity is total and permanent. Human defeat is not temporary setback but existential condition. The "changing of countenance" suggests that God marks the human, transforms his very appearance into that of the defeated. The "sending away" implies permanent exile.
