Compare all

49 Lord, where are Your former lovingkindnesses,
Which You ^aswore to David ^bin Your truth?

50 Remember, Lord, the reproach of Your servants—
^aHow I bear in my bosom the reproach of all the many peoples,

51 ^aWith which Your enemies have reproached, O Lord,
With which they have reproached the footsteps of Your¹ anointed.

52 ^aBlessed be the Lord forevermore!
Amen and Amen.

Psalms 89:51

Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O Lord - Have reproached thee and me. Wherewith they reproach thy character and cause, and reproach me for having trusted to promises which seem not to be fulfilled. As the representative of thy cause, I am compelled to bear all this, and it breaks my heart.

Wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed - Of myself, as the anointed king. They have reproached my footsteps; that is, they have followed me with reproaches - treading along behind me. Wherever I go, wherever I put my foot down in my wanderings, I meet this reproach.
