Psalms 109:29

27 Let them know that this is Your hand, that You, O LORD, have done it.

28 Though they curse, You will bless. When they rise up, they will be put to shame, but Your servant will rejoice.

May my accusers be clothed with disgrace; may they wear their shame like a robe.

30 With my mouth I will thank the LORD profusely; I will praise Him in the presence of many.

31 For He stands at the right hand of the needy one, to save him from the condemners of his soul.
