New Catholic Bible
Psalm 109:29-31
New Catholic Bible
29 My accusers will be clothed in disgrace,
wrapped in their shame as in a cloak.
30 I will thank the Lord with my lips,
and before all the people I will praise him.[a]
31 For he stands at the right hand of the poor
to save him from his accusers who pass judgment on him.[b]
Footnotes
- Psalm 109:30 A vow to praise the Lord for his deliverance (see note on 7:18).
- Psalm 109:31 The final verse puts everything in perspective. At the beginning of this psalm, the enemies of the psalmist are seeking for someone to stand at his right hand in order to accuse him (v. 6) according to the custom of the time. Here we see that the Lord himself is already at the psalmist’s right hand—not to accuse but to defend him. The Lord is ever “near to all who call out to him” (Ps 145:18; see also Deut 4:7; Isa 55:6; 58:9; Jer 29:13).
