74:21 Do not let the afflicted be turned back in shame!
Let the oppressed and poor praise your name! 1
109:29 My accusers will be covered 2 with shame,
and draped in humiliation as if it were a robe.
1 sn Let the oppressed and poor praise your name! The statement is metonymic. The point is this: May the oppressed be delivered from their enemies! Then they will have ample reason to praise God’s name.
2 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”).
