A Commentary On The Psalms From Primitive and Mediæval Writers Volumes 1 To 4 by Rev. J.M. Neale D.D.

ARG. THOMAS. That CHRIST rose for our miseries and necessities. Spoken by CHRIST concerning the Passion of His Saints.

EUSEBIUS. The insurrection of the ungodly, and the expectation of CHRIST.

VEN. BEDE: To the end: for the eighth. The eighth pertains to eternal rest; for there is no eighth day in the week of this world, but when the seventh is over, the first comes round again. The prophet, therefore, asks that the iniquity of this world may be destroyed, and that the reality of good things to come may be made manifest. Rightly, therefore, is this Psalm appropriated to the eighth day, since it speaks of leaving the evil customs of this, and of aspiring to the innocence of the next, world. In the first part, the Prophet makes supplication that he may be delivered from the perversity of this world, since the crafty and the proud denied the power of the LORD by their wicked speeches. In the second, he foretells that the promise of the FATHER is to be accomplished by the Omnipotent SON, briefly praising the words of GOD, as he had before rebuked the words of the wicked.

EUSEBIUS OF CÆSAREA. An accusation of the wicked, and a prophecy concerning the Advent of CHRIST.

ARABIC PSALTER. Concerning the end of the world, which will happen in the Eighth Age, and a prophecy of the Advent of CHRIST.

S. JEROME. This Psalm is sung concerning the Passion of CHRIST.
