Psalms 35:26 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 35:26

Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together
In a body, as one man; as they gathered together against him, ( Psalms 35:15 ) ; so he entreats they might together be brought to shame and confusion, they not being able to execute their designs; their schemes being broken, their counsels defeated, and they exposed to contempt;

that rejoice at mine hurt;
the same with his adversity, or halting, ( Psalms 35:15 ) ;

let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify [themselves]
against me;
let them be covered with it, as a man is with a garment; who magnified themselves, opened their mouths in great swelling words of vanity against him, vaunted and bragged over him, as in their power, and at their will.
