Let them be desolate as a reward for their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.
All Commentaries on Psalms 40:15 Go To Psalms 40
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
'Tis well. The Hebrew here is an interjection of insult and derision, like the Vah, Matthew xxvii. 40. (Challoner)
As St. Jerome here expresses it, Vah, Vah. See Mark xv. 29. (Menochius)
The Jews have now become objects of contempt, (Calmet) a just punishment (Haydock) of scoffers, who wish evil to the good.
