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 Make my enemies know that you are the one who saves me.

28 They may curse me, but you will bless me. May my persecutors be defeated, and may I, your servant, be glad.

29 May my enemies be covered with disgrace; may they wear their shame like a robe.

30 I will give loud thanks to the Lord; I will praise him in the assembly of the people,

31 because he defends the poor and saves them from those who condemn them to death.
