NET © Notes

tn Heb “may they be embarrassed and ashamed together, the ones seeking my life to snatch it away.”

tn The four prefixed verbal forms in this verse (“may those…be…embarrassed and ashamed…may those…be turned back and ashamed”) are understood as jussives. The psalmist is calling judgment down on his enemies.

sn See Ps 35:4 for a similar prayer.
