Contextual Overview
21 My Lord God , treat me in a way that brings honor to your name. Save me because of your faithful love. 22 I am only a poor, helpless man. I am so sad; my heart is broken. 23 I feel my life is over, fading like a shadow at day's end. I feel like a bug that someone brushed away. 24 My knees are weak from fasting. I have lost weight and become thin. 25 My enemies insult me. They look at me and shake their heads. 26 Lord my God, help me! Show your faithful love and save me! 27 Then they will know that you did it. They will know that it was your power, Lord , that helped me. 28 They curse me, but you can bless me. They attacked me, so defeat them. Then I, your servant, will be happy. 29 Humiliate my enemies! Let them wear their shame like a coat. 30 I give thanks to the Lord . I praise him in front of everyone.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame,.... This is only explanative of what is said before,
And let them cover themselves with their own confusion as with a mantle: the Arabic version is, "as with a breastplate." Some understand it as a petition of Christ, that they might be brought to repentance for their sins, and so to shame for them; which is an instance of his wondrous grace and goodness; and it is certain he prayed for the forgiveness of his enemies when on the cross, Luke 23:34.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame - Let confusion and disappointment seem to cover them, so as to constitute a garment. See the notes at Psalms 109:18-19. They had “clothed themselves with cursing” Psalms 109:18, and the prayer now is, that the covering of shame might be as complete and entire.
And let them cover themselves with their own confusion as with a mantle - As with an outer garment - the mantle or robe - which they might wrap all round them. Let it be so abundant that they may entirely wrap their person in it. Let their confusion correspond with their sin in the fullest manner.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 109:29. Let them cover themselves — He here retorts their own curse, Psalms 109:18.
