Footnotes

  1. 83 Many medieval Hebrew read here יְהוָה (yehvah, “the Lord”).
  2. 84 Heb “remember, O Lord, the taunt against your servants.” Many medieval Hebrew read the singular here, “your servant” (that is, the psalmist).
  3. 85 Heb “my lifting up in my arms [or “against my chest”] all of the many, peoples.” The term רַבִּים (rabbim, “many”) makes no apparent sense here. For this reason some emend the text to רִבֵי (rivey, “attacks by”), a defectively written plural construct form of רִיב (riv, “dispute; quarrel”).
  4. 86 Heb “[by] which your enemies, O Lord, taunt, [by] which they taunt [at] the heels of your anointed one.”

Remember, O Lord, how your servants are mocked,

and how I bear in my heart the insults of all the many nations,

Remember, Lord, how your servant has been mocked,

Remember, Lord, the ridicule against your servants—

in my heart I carry abuse from all the peoples—

how your enemies have ridiculed, Lord,

how they have ridiculed every step of your anointed.

NLTNew Living Translation

Consider, Lord, how your servants are disgraced!

I carry in my heart the insults of so many people.

Your enemies have mocked me, O Lord;

they mock your anointed king wherever he goes.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Remember, O Lord the taunting of your servants,

how I bear in my bosom the taunts of all the many peoples,

by which your enemies taunt, O Yahweh,

by which they taunt the steps of your anointed one.

KJV 1900King James Version

Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants;

How I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people;

Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O Lord;

Wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.
