Verse 26

"Help me, O Jehovah my God;

Oh save me according to thy lovingkindness:

That they may know that this is thy hand;

That thou Jehovah hast done it.

Let them curse, but bless thou:

When they arise, they shall be put to shame,

But thy servant shall rejoice.

Let mine adversaries be clothed with dishonor,

And let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe."

"That they may know that thou hast done it" (Psalms 109:27). Dahood connected this with what he called, "The miracle that David had requested in Psalms 109:21."[17]

"Let them curse, but bless thou" (Psalms 109:28). "The psalmist here appears no longer disturbed, since he feels confident of divine assistance after his prayers in Psalms 109:26-27."[18]

"Cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe" (Psalms 109:29). McCaw gave the meaning here as a plea that the public dishonor of the psalmist's enemies, "Would be as plain to everyone as their outer clothing."[19]
