ARGUMENT

ARG. THOMAS. That CHRIST prepares for His Church eternal pastures. Before Baptism. The voice of the Church after Baptism. To be read with Esther.1

VEN. BEDE. Through the whole Psalm the Christian regenerate in Baptism speaks, and renders thanks that he has been brought from the barrenness of sin into a green pasture and the still waters. And notice that, as before, in Psalm 15, he had received the Decalogue of the Law, thus he here rejoices in ten blessings.

EUSEBIUS OF CÆSAREA. The doctrine and the first institution of the new people.

S. ATHANASIUS. A Psalm of boasting in the LORD.
