Psalms 109:29
Compare all
27 aThat they may know that this is Your hand—
That You, Lord, have done it! 
28 aLet them curse, but You bless;
When they arise, let them be ashamed,
But let bYour servant rejoice. 
29 aLet my accusers be clothed with shame,
And let them cover themselves with their own disgrace as with a mantle. 
30 I will greatly praise the Lord with my mouth;
Yes, aI will praise Him among the multitude. 
31 For aHe shall stand at the right hand of the poor,
To save him from those1 who condemn him.

Psalms 109:29

Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame - Let confusion and disappointment seem to cover them, so as to constitute a garment. See the notes at Psalms 109:18-19. They had "clothed themselves with cursing" Psalms 109:18, and the prayer now is, that the covering of shame might be as complete and entire.

And let them cover themselves with their own confusion as with a mantle - As with an outer garment - the mantle or robe - which they might wrap all round them. Let it be so abundant that they may entirely wrap their person in it. Let their confusion correspond with their sin in the fullest manner.
