Thomas Aquinas, on Ps 39:15

“Let them be confounded and ashamed together, that seek after my soul to take it away. Let them be turned backward and be ashamed that desire evils to me.”

“Against three enemies he asks for swiftness, because delay is usually harmful: Eccl. 8: "Because sentence against evil works is not quickly pronounced, the sons of men commit evil without any fear." And therefore he says, "Let them speedily bear their confusion," that is, let them quickly be confounded, because these are they who, applauding, say to me "Well done, well done," that is, they rejoice falsely, with regard to flatterers. Or, "Well done," that is, they mock or insult. Jerome has it according to these words: "Ha!" Thus the Jews mocked Christ, Mt. 27.”
