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 Let them see that this is your doing, that you yourself have done it, LORD .

28 Then let them curse me if they like, but you will bless me! When they attack me, they will be disgraced! But I, your servant, will go right on rejoicing!

29 May my accusers be clothed with disgrace; may their humiliation cover them like a cloak.

30 But I will give repeated thanks to the LORD, praising him to everyone.

31 For he stands beside the needy, ready to save them from those who condemn them.
