Psalms 89:51
49 Where, O Lord, is Your loving devotion of old, which You faithfully swore to David?
50 Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Your servants, which I bear in my heart from so many people—
how Your enemies have taunted, O LORD, and have mocked every step of Your anointed one!
52 Blessed be the LORD forever! Amen and amen.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
