Cover their faces with shame, O Lord, and make them acknowledge your power.
As soon as I sin, I'm in trouble with you, but when I do right, I get no credit. I am miserable and covered with shame.
Terror will strike like a sudden flood; a wind in the night will blow them away;
May my enemies be covered with disgrace; may they wear their shame like a robe.
I will cover his enemies with shame, but his kingdom will prosper and flourish.”
The oppressed look to him and are glad; they will never be disappointed.
My enemies will know the bitter shame of defeat; in sudden confusion they will be driven away.
