Psalms 35:26

May those who want to harm me be totally embarrassed and ashamed! ¹  May those who arrogantly taunt me be covered with shame and humiliation! ² 

Job 8:22; Job 19:5; Ps 35:4; Ps 38:16; Ps 40:14,15; Ps 55:12; Ps 71:13; Ps 109:28,29; Ps 129:5; Ps 132:18; Isa 41:11; Isa 65:13-15; Jer 48:26; Da 11:36; 1Pe 5:5

¹ tn Heb “may they be embarrassed and ashamed together, the ones who rejoice over my harm.”

² tn Heb “may they be clothed with shame and humiliation, the ones who magnify [themselves] against me.” The prefixed verbal forms in v. 26 are understood as jussives (see vv. 24b-25, where the negative particle אַל (’al) appears before the prefixed verbal forms, indicating they are jussives). The psalmist is calling down judgment on his enemies.
