Psalms

Psalm 89:49–51

⁴⁹Where, O Lord, is Your loving devotion of old,

which You faithfully swore to David?

⁵⁰Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Your servants,

which I bear in my heart from so many people —

⁵¹how Your enemies have taunted, O LORD,

and have mocked every step of Your anointed one!
