I will clothe his enemies with shame, But on himself, his crown will be resplendant." Psalm 133 A Song of Ascents. By David.

Verse Takeaways

Commentators highlight the stark contrast between two destinies. God promises to clothe His priests with salvation (v. 16), but He will clothe His enemies with shame. This shame is described as a permanent garment for those who oppose God's anointed King, culminating in their ultimate defeat and humiliation.
