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 so that they will know that this comes from your hand, that you, ADONAI, have done it.

28 Let them go on cursing; but you, bless! When they attack, let them be put to shame; but let your servant rejoice.

29 Let my adversaries be clothed with confusion, let them wear their own shame like a robe.

30 I will eagerly thank ADONAI with my mouth, I will praise him right there in the crowd,

31 because he stands alongside a needy person to defend him from unjust accusers.
