65:13 The meadows are clothed with sheep,
and the valleys are covered with grain.
They shout joyfully, yes, they sing.
68:13 When 1 you lie down among the sheepfolds, 2
the wings of the dove are covered with silver
and with glittering gold. 3
71:13 May my accusers be humiliated and defeated!
May those who want to harm me 4 be covered with scorn and disgrace!
109:29 My accusers will be covered 5 with shame,
and draped in humiliation as if it were a robe.
1 tn Or “if.”
2 tn The meaning of the Hebrew word translated “sheepfolds” is uncertain. There may be an echo of Judg 5:16 here.
3 tn Heb “and her pinions with the yellow of gold.”
sn The point of the imagery of v. 13 is not certain, though the reference to silver and gold appears to be positive. Both would be part of the loot carried away from battle (see v. 12b).
4 tn Heb “those who seek my harm.”
5 tn Heb “clothed.” Another option is to translate the prefixed verbal forms in this line and the next as jussives (“may my accusers be covered with shame”).
