Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.

Verse 15 is found in chapter 40 of Psalms. Psalm 40 begins with a testimony of waiting and deliverance: God brought the psalmist out of a pit and established his steps. The response consists not merely in offering sacrifices, but in recognizing that God desires inward obedience expressed through hearing and doing his will. Then the plea for help appears again, showing that past deliverance does not eliminate present need. Praise and dependence remain together.

Schämen müssen sich und zu Schanden werden, die mir nach meiner Seele stehen, daß sie die umbringen; zurück müssen sie fallen und zu Schanden werden, die mir Übles gönnen.
Sean asolados en pago de su afrenta Los que me dicen: ¡Ea, ea!
Que queden desolados por su vergüenza los que me dicen: «¡Ajá, ajá!».
Qu'ils soient dans la stupeur par l'effet de leur honte, Ceux qui me disent: Ah! ah!
Quelli che mi dicono: Eia, eia! Sieno distrutti, per ricompensa del vituperio che mi fanno.
Desolados sejam em pago da sua afronta os que me dizem: Ah! Ah!
願那些對我說「啊哈、啊哈」的, 因羞愧而敗亡!
