NETBible

They curse, but you will bless.¹ When they attack, they will be humiliated,² but your servant will rejoice.

NET Notes

¹tn Another option is to translate the imperfect as a prayer/request (“may you bless”).

²tn The verbal sequence is perfect + prefixed form with vav (ו) consecutive. Since the psalmist seems to be anticipating the demise of his enemies, he may be using these forms rhetorically to describe the enemies’ defeat as if it were already accomplished. Some emend the text to קָמוּ יֵבֹשׁוּ (qamu yevoshu, “may those who attack me be humiliated”). See L. C. Allen, Psalms 101-150 (WBC), 75.
