The Lord Will

Psalm 89:51

β€œWherewith thine enemies have reproached, O Lord; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.”

KJV

Read in Psalm 89

Meaning

The humiliation of the king is interpreted as reproach directed against the covenant figure himself and therefore brought before God.

Read carefully

The verse concerns the covenant king's reproach and cannot be used to immunize leaders from legitimate criticism.

Reflection

Bring reproach to God instead of escalating it into retaliation.
