Proverbia 40:15

Jerome's Latin Vulgate

span data-lang="lat" data-trans="jvl" data-ref="psa.40.1" class="versetxt"> In finem. Psalmus ipsi David. [Beatus qui intelligit super egenum et pauperem:
in die mala liberabit eum Dominus.
Dominus conservet eum, et vivificet eum,
et beatum faciat eum in terra,
et non tradat eum in animam inimicorum ejus.
Dominus opem ferat illi super lectum doloris ejus;
universum stratum ejus versasti in infirmitate ejus.
Ego dixi: Domine, miserere mei;
sana animam meam, quia peccavi tibi.
Inimici mei dixerunt mala mihi:
Quando morietur, et peribit nomen ejus?
Et si ingrediebatur ut videret, vana loquebatur;
cor ejus congregavit iniquitatem sibi.
Egrediebatur foras et loquebatur.
In idipsum adversum me susurrabant omnes inimici mei;
adversum me cogitabant mala mihi.
Verbum iniquum constituerunt adversum me:
Numquid qui dormit non adjiciet ut resurgat?
Etenim homo pacis meæ in quo speravi,
qui edebat panes meos,
magnificavit super me supplantationem.
Tu autem, Domine, miserere mei,
et resuscita me; et retribuam eis.
In hoc cognovi quoniam voluisti me,
quoniam non gaudebit inimicus meus super me.
Me autem propter innocentiam suscepisti;
et confirmasti me in conspectu tuo in æternum.
Benedictus Dominus Deus Israël
a sæculo et usque in sæculum. Fiat, fiat.]

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame,.... Of their shameful wishes, words, and actions, as they were: their habitations in Jerusalem were desolate, and so was their house or temple there, and their whole land, and they themselves were stripped of everything, when Jerusalem was taken and destroyed; see Matthew 23:38 Acts 1:20;

that say unto me, Aha, aha; words expressive of joy, Psalms 35:21, exulting at his miseries and sufferings on the cross, Matthew 27:39; so the Targum,

"we have rejoiced at his destruction, with joy at his affliction.''

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Let them be desolate - The word here employed means to be astonished or amazed; then, to be laid waste, or made desolate. As used here, it refers to their purposes, and the wish or prayer is that they might be wholly unsuccessful, or that in respect to success they might be like a waste and desolate field where nothing grows.

For a reward - The word used here - עקב ‛êqeb - means the end, the last of anything; then, the recompence, reward, wages, as being the end, the result, or issue of a certain course of conduct. That is, in this case, the desolation prayed for would be a proper recompence for their purpose, or for what they said. “Of their shame.” Of their shameful act or purpose; their act as deserving of ignominy.

That say unto me, Aha, aha - That use language of reproach and contempt. This is a term of exultation over another; a word of rejoicing at the calamities that come on another; an act of joy over a fallen enemy: Ezekiel 25:3; see Psalms 35:21, note; Psalms 35:25, note. As understood of the Messiah, this would refer to the taunts and reproaches of his enemies; the exultation which they manifested when they had him in their power - when they felt secure that their vexations in regard to him were at an end, or that they would be troubled with him no more. By putting him to death they supposed that they might feel safe from further molestation on his account. For this act, this note of exultation and joy, on the part of the Jewish rulers, and of the people as stimulated by those rulers, the desolation which came upon them (the utter ruin of their temple, their city, and their nation) was an appropriate reward. That desolation did not go beyond their desert, for their treatment of the Messiah - as the ruin of the sinner in the future world will not go beyond his desert for having rejected the same Messiah as his Saviour.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 40:15. That say unto me, Aha, aha. — האח האח heach, heach. See on Psalms 35:21.
