Mazmur 109:29

109:29 My accusers will be covered ¹  with shame,

and draped in humiliation as if it were a robe.

Mazmur 73:6

73:6 Arrogance is their necklace, ² 

and violence their clothing. ³ 

Yehezkiel 7:27

7:27 The king will mourn and the prince will be clothed with shuddering; the hands of the people of the land will tremble. Based on their behavior I will deal with them, and by their standard of justice ⁴  I will judge them. Then they will know that I am the Lord!”

[109:29]  ¹ tn Heb “clothed.” Another option is to translate the prefixed verbal forms in this line and the next as jussives (“may my accusers be covered with shame”).

[73:6]  ² sn Arrogance is their necklace. The metaphor suggests that their arrogance is something the wicked “wear” proudly. It draws attention to them, just as a beautiful necklace does to its owner.

[73:6]  ³ tn Heb “a garment of violence covers them.” The metaphor suggests that violence is habitual for the wicked. They “wear” it like clothing; when one looks at them, violence is what one sees.

[7:27]  ⁴ tn Heb “and by their judgments.”
