Psalm 89:52

Blessed be the LORD forever more. Amen, and Amen.

50Remember, Lord, the reproach of your servants, how I bear in my heart the taunts of all the mighty peoples,
51With which your enemies have mocked, LORD, with which they have mocked the footsteps of your anointed one.
52Blessed be the LORD forever more. Amen, and Amen.
