Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.

Verse 28 is found in chapter 109 of Psalms. Psalm 109 is a plea against an accuser who has responded to love with hostility. The psalmist presents before God a situation of false accusations, hatred, and persecution. The language of judgment is particularly intense and belongs to the genre of imprecations, in which the sufferer entrusts the fate of violent people to God. The conclusion returns to trust: God stands at the right hand of the poor to save him from those who condemn him.

Fluchen sie, so segne du. Setzen sie sich wider mich, so sollen sie zu Schanden werden; aber dein Knecht müsse sich freuen.
Maldigan ellos, y bendice tú: Levántense, mas sean avergonzados, y regocíjese tu siervo.
Que ellos maldigan, pero tú bendice; que se levanten y queden avergonzados, mientras tu siervo se alegra.
S'ils maudissent, toi tu béniras; S'ils se lèvent, ils seront confus, Et ton serviteur se réjouira.
Essi malediranno, e tu benedirai; Si sono innalzati, ma saran confusi, Ed il tuo servitore si rallegrerà.
Amaldiçoem eles, mas abençoa tu; quando se levantarem fiquem confundidos; e alegre-se o teu servo.
任憑他們咒罵,你卻要賜福; 他們幾時起來就必蒙羞, 你的僕人卻要歡喜。
