Lord, where’s the love you promised David? Like, fr, where’s that loyalty?
Lord, where {are} thy former lovingkindnesses, {which} thou swarest unto David in thy truth?
Remember, Lord, the shade on your crew; I’m carrying the weight of all these strong peeps.
Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; {how} I do bear in my bosom {the reproach of} all the mighty people;
Yo, the haters have come for You, God; they’ve dissed the moves of Your chosen one.
Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.
Big ups to the Lord forever, no cap. Amen, periodt.
Blessed {be} the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.
