Remember, O Lord, how thy servant is scorned; how I bear in my bosom the insults of the peoples,
For zeal for thy house has consumed me, and the insults of those who insult thee have fallen on me.
Remember this, O Lord, how the enemy scoffs, and an impious people reviles thy name.
Arise, O God, plead thy cause; remember how the impious scoff at thee all the day!
‘I will establish your descendants for ever, and build your throne for all generations.’ ” Selah
For Christ did not please himself; but, as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached thee fell on me.”
