ARGUMENT

ARG. THOMAS. That CHRIST, for the redemption of man, drank the Cup of the Passion. The Voice of CHRIST touching judgment to come.

VEN. BEDE. Asaph, as we have often said, is interpreted Synagogue; to wit, that which believed, not that which remained obstinate; for we read that many thousands of the Jews confessed after the LORD’S Resurrection, whom this Asaph now warns that they should not destroy their faith, that is, in the LORD their SAVIOUR, unto the end.

At the outset the faithful Jews profess themselves about to speak of all His wondrous works. In the second part, CHRIST the King Himself speaks, promising to judge according to right when the time of the General Resurrection hath come; and, moreover, warns them that none should presume in aught against the Divine commands, lest eternal punishment should torture him. When I receive the time, (Vulg.,) I shall judge according unto right.

EUSEBIUS OF CÆSAREA. A discourse of the Divinity of CHRIST, and a warning of the judicial tribunal of GOD.

S. ATHANASIUS. A Psalm in thanksgiving.
