Psalm 89:50
“Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people;”
KJV
Read in Psalm 89Meaning
The royal crisis affects the wider covenant community, whose shame the psalmist carries personally.
Lament, remembrance, and doxology
The psalm asks God to remember human frailty, former covenant love, and the reproach borne by his servants, then closes with blessing.
Read carefully
The verse asks God to remember suffering; it does not authorize ethnic hostility or revenge.
Reflection
Carry others' suffering in prayer rather than treating faith as purely individual.
