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 ) .

29 Let my accusers put on disgrace, and let them cover [themselves] with their shame as with a robe.

30 I will give thanks to Yahweh exceedingly with my mouth, and in [the] midst of many I will praise him,

31 for he stands at [the] right [hand] of [the] needy, to save [him] from those judging his life.
