Psalms 109:29

29 Let those who accuse me wear disgrace as though it were clothing. Let them be wrapped in their shame as though it were a robe.

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 Then they will know that this is your doing, that you, O LORD, are the one who saved me.
28 They may curse, but you will bless. Let those who attack me be ashamed, but let me rejoice.
29 Let those who accuse me wear disgrace as though it were clothing. Let them be wrapped in their shame as though it were a robe.
30 With my mouth I will give many thanks to the LORD. I will praise him among many people,
31 because he stands beside needy people to save them from those who would condemn them to death.
