Psalm 40:14 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 40:14

Let them be ashamed and confounded together
As they will be at the last day, when they shall see him whom they have pierced come in the clouds of heaven, in his own and his Father's glory, and in the glory of the holy angels;

that seek after my soul to destroy it;
that is, his life, as did Herod in his infancy, and the Scribes and Pharisees, chief priests and elders of the people of the Jews, frequently, and at last accomplished what they sought after;

let them be driven backward;
as those were who came with Judas into the garden to apprehend him, ( John 18:6 ) ;

and put to shame that wish me evil:
as did the Jews, who sought all opportunities to ensnare him, and that they might have to accuse him to the Roman governor; and who earnestly desired his crucifixion, and vehemently wished his death; see ( Psalms 41:5 ) .

Psalm 40:14 In-Context

12 Porque me han cercado males hasta no haber cuento: Hanme comprendido mis maldades, y no puedo levantar la vista: Hanse aumentado más que los cabellos de mi cabeza, y mi corazón me falta.

13 Quieras, oh Jehová, librarme; Jehová, apresúrate á socorrerme.

14 Sean avergonzados y confusos á una Los que buscan mi vida para cortarla: Vuelvan atrás y avergüéncense Los que mi mal desean.

15 Sean asolados en pago de su afrenta Los que me dicen: ¡Ea, ea!

16 Gócense y alégrense en ti todos los que te buscan; Y digan siempre los que aman tu salud: Jehová sea ensalzado.
