Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame, etc.] In (<194015>Psalm 40:15) it is, “let them be desolate”; which seems to respect their land and houses, here their persons; (see Gill on “<194015>Psalm 40:15”); that say; in (<194015>Psalm 40:15) it is added, “to me”; not to his people, but himself, aha, aha: rejoicing at his calamity and distress. The Targum is, “we are glad, we are glad;” (see Gill on “<194015>Psalm 40:15”), and compare with this (<262503>Ezekiel 25:3).
