Psalm 89:51

Perplexity About God's Promises

⁵⁰ Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Your servants;
How I bear in my bosom the reproach of all the many peoples,
⁵¹ With which Your enemies have reproached, O Lord,
With which they have reproached the footsteps of Your anointed.
⁵² Blessed be the Lord forever!
Amen and Amen.
