“O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.”
The statement that the psalmist trusts in God and should not be put to shame or enemies triumph over him invokes divine protection from humiliation. The shame language suggests fear of public disgrace. The triumph of enemies suggests military defeat. This verse expresses the prayer's fundamental petition.
