In the context of the psalm, it reflects the lament of the Israelites during a time of national distress, possibly during the Babylonian exile. The term "reproach" indicates a deep sense of dishonor and public shame. Biblically, the concept of God remembering is not about recalling forgotten information but about taking action based on His covenant promises. This plea echoes the cries of other biblical figures, such as Nehemiah (<a href="/nehemiah/1-8.htm">Nehemiah 1:8-9</a>) and the psalmist in <a href="/psalms/74-22.htm">Psalm 74:22</a>, who also called upon God to remember His covenant and act on behalf of His people.<p><b>which I bear in my heart</b><br>The psalmist expresses a personal and internalized burden of the community's shame. This internal bearing of reproach signifies a deep, emotional connection to the suffering of the people. It reflects the role of a mediator or intercessor, similar to Moses, who bore the burdens of the Israelites (<a href="/exodus/32-32.htm">Exodus 32:32</a>). The heart, in biblical terms, is the center of emotions and will, indicating that the psalmist is deeply affected by the reproach and is earnestly seeking God's intervention.<p><b>from so many people—</b><br>This phrase highlights the widespread nature of the reproach, suggesting that the disgrace comes from numerous sources, possibly surrounding nations or even internal dissenters. Historically, Israel faced scorn from neighboring nations during periods of conquest and exile, as seen in the taunts of the Assyrians (<a href="/2_kings/18-19.htm">2 Kings 18:19-35</a>) and the Babylonians (<a href="/psalms/137-3.htm">Psalm 137:3</a>). Theologically, this can be seen as a type of Christ, who bore the reproach of many (<a href="/isaiah/53-3.htm">Isaiah 53:3</a>) and was despised and rejected by men. The psalmist's experience foreshadows the ultimate reproach borne by Jesus, who took on the sins and shame of humanity.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/ethan_the_ezrahite.htm">Ethan the Ezrahite</a></b><br>The author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/89.htm">Psalm 89</a>, traditionally believed to be a wise man during the time of Solomon.
