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 That they may know that this is your hand; That you, Yahweh, have done it.

28 They may curse, but you bless. When they arise, they will be put to shame, But your servant shall rejoice.

29 Let my adversaries be clothed with dishonor. Let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.

30 I will give great thanks to Yahweh with my mouth. Yes, I will praise him among the multitude.

31 For he will stand at the right hand of the needy, To save him from those who judge his soul.
