Let them be turned back because of their shame and disgrace Who say, “Aha, aha!”

You have shortened the days of his youth; You have covered him with shame. Selah.

Let my attackers be clothed with dishonor, And let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.

I cling tightly to Your testimonies; O Lord, do not put me to shame!

May all who hate Zion Be put to shame and turned backward [in defeat].
