Estudo de Salmos 40:15 – Comentado e Explicado

Fiquem atônitos, cheios de confusão, os que me dizem: Bem feito! Bem feito!
Salmos 40:15

Comentário de Albert Barnes

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 – ??? ?e^qeb – 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 Psalm 35:21 , note; Psalm 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.

Comentário de John Calvin

Quando o salmista ora (versículo 15) para que seus inimigos sejam destruídos por uma recompensa de sua vergonha, o significado é o seguinte: Como o único desejo deles era me sobrecarregar de vergonha, para que, embora desanimados e confusos, pudessem faça de mim o objeto de seu escárnio; que uma confusão semelhante caia sobre suas próprias cabeças. Na segunda cláusula do versículo, ele descreve a natureza dessa confusão, relacionando os termos de seu ímpio triunfo, pelo qual eles despejavam desprezo enquanto ele era tão oprimido pela miséria e pela aflição. Somos ensinados aqui que, quando nossos inimigos nos perseguirem ao máximo, uma recompensa também é preparada para eles; e que Deus voltará e fará cair sobre suas próprias cabeças todo o mal que eles haviam inventado contra nós; e essa doutrina deve agir como uma restrição para nós, para que possamos nos comportar com compaixão e bondade em relação aos nossos vizinhos.
