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.

Psalms 35:26 In-Context

24 Vindicate me, O LORD, my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me!

25 Let them not say to themselves, "Aha, we have our heart's desire!" Let them not say, "We have swallowed him up."

26 Let them be put to shame and confusion altogether who rejoice at my calamity! Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves against me!

27 Let those who desire my vindication shout for joy and be glad, and say evermore, "Great is the LORD, who delights in the welfare of his servant!"

28 Then my tongue shall tell of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long.
