Psalms 35:26

26 May those who want to harm me be totally embarrassed and ashamed! ^{▼▼ Heb “may they be embarrassed and ashamed together, the ones who rejoice over my harm.”}
May those who arrogantly taunt me be covered with shame and humiliation! ^{▼▼ 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.}
