²⁹ May my accusers be clothed with disgrace;
    may their humiliation cover them like a cloak.

²⁶ May those who rejoice at my troubles
    be humiliated and disgraced.
May those who triumph over me
    be covered with shame and dishonor.

¹⁸ I will clothe his enemies with shame,
    but he will be a glorious king.”

²² Those who hate you will be clothed with shame,
    and the home of the wicked will be destroyed.”

¹⁰ Then my enemies will see that the Lord is on my side.
    They will be ashamed that they taunted me, saying,
“So where is the Lord—
    that God of yours?”
With my own eyes I will see their downfall;
    they will be trampled like mud in the streets.

¹¹ But the Lord stands beside me like a great warrior.
    Before him my persecutors will stumble.
    They cannot defeat me.
They will fail and be thoroughly humiliated.
    Their dishonor will never be forgotten.

⁹ Let my enemies be destroyed
    by the very evil they have planned for me.

¹⁷ He loved to curse others;
    now you curse him.
He never blessed others;
    now don’t you bless him.
¹⁸ Cursing is as natural to him as his clothing,
    or the water he drinks,
    or the rich food he eats.
¹⁹ Now may his curses return and cling to him like clothing;
    may they be tied around him like a belt.”

¹⁰ May all my enemies be disgraced and terrified.
    May they suddenly turn back in shame.
