All my enemies shall be ashamed and greatly troubled; they shall turn back and be put to shame in a moment.
Then once more you shall see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve him.
But the Lord is with me as a dread warrior; therefore my persecutors will stumble; they will not overcome me. They will be greatly shamed, for they will not succeed. Their eternal dishonor will never be forgotten.
Show me a sign of your favor, that those who hate me may see and be put to shame because you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.
O Lord, your hand is lifted up, but they do not see it. Let them see your zeal for your people, and be ashamed. Let the fire for your adversaries consume them.
He who is often reproved, yet stiffens his neck, will suddenly be broken beyond healing.
His enemies I will clothe with shame, but on him his crown will shine.”
The wicked man sees it and is angry; he gnashes his teeth and melts away; the desire of the wicked will perish!
Let them curse, but you will bless! They arise and are put to shame, but your servant will be glad! May my accusers be clothed with dishonor; may they be wrapped in their own shame as in a cloak!
Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek your name, O Lord. Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever; let them perish in disgrace,
How they are destroyed in a moment, swept away utterly by terrors!
And my tongue will talk of your righteous help all the day long, for they have been put to shame and disappointed who sought to do me hurt.
May my accusers be put to shame and consumed; with scorn and disgrace may they be covered who seek my hurt.
Let those be put to shame and disappointed altogether who seek to snatch away my life; let those be turned back and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt! Let those be appalled because of their shame who say to me, “Aha, Aha!”
Let them be put to shame and disappointed altogether who rejoice at my calamity! Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves against me!
Indeed, none who wait for you shall be put to shame; they shall be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous.
Arise, O Lord, in your anger; lift yourself up against the fury of my enemies; awake for me; you have appointed a judgment.
While people are saying, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
Your hand will find out all your enemies; your right hand will find out those who hate you. You will make them as a blazing oven when you appear. The Lord will swallow them up in his wrath, and fire will consume them.
Make them bear their guilt, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; because of the abundance of their transgressions cast them out, for they have rebelled against you.
Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and terrify them in his fury, saying,
Please turn; let no injustice be done. Turn now; my vindication is at stake.
