Psalms 109:29 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 109:29

Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame
This is only explanative of what is said before,

And let them cover themselves with their own confusion as with a
mantle:
the Arabic version is, "as with a breastplate." Some understand it as a petition of Christ, that they might be brought to repentance for their sins, and so to shame for them; which is an instance of his wondrous grace and goodness; and it is certain he prayed for the forgiveness of his enemies when on the cross, ( Luke 23:34 ) .

Psalms 109:29 In-Context

27 And let them know that this is by your hand— that you have done it, LORD!

28 Let them curse—but you, bless me! If they rise up, let them be disgraced, but let your servant celebrate!

29 Let my accusers be dressed in shame; let them wear their disgrace like a coat.

30 But I will give great thanks to the LORD with my mouth; among a great crowd I will praise God!

31 Because God stands right next to the needy, to save them from any who would condemn them.
