Psalms 74:21

Context

74:21 Do not let the afflicted be turned back in shame!

Let the oppressed and poor praise your name! 1 

Psalms 109:29

Context

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”).
