ARGUMENT

ARG. THOMAS. That CHRIST was published by the preaching of the Apostles, not in Judea alone, but also in all the ends of the earth. The Voice of the Church to CHRIST. The Voice of the Church to CHRIST, or the Voice of the Prophets concerning the Nativity of CHRIST. Through the fast.

VEN. BEDE. The Assyrians are interpreted the directing, since, taught by the rules of faith, they strive to walk in the right ways. These Asaph addresses, singing GOD’S praises with wonderful variety. Some copies have A song against the Assyrians, where it is understood that this psalm is sung against the devil, under the person of Sennacherib, King of the Assyrians, for against him the GOD of Israel was made known in Jewry, in CHRIST reconciling the world to Himself.

Asaph in the first part addresses the directing, that is, the faithful Jews, stating where GOD’S Name is best made known by the declaration of His might. In Jewry is God known. In the second part, he tells the wondrous things which He hath wrought, Thou shining wondrously, (Vulg.) Thirdly, he warns all the devout that they should not cease to bring presents to GOD, Who ought to be feared, Who purifies the spirit of princes with His wholesome amendment. For the thought of man shall confess unto Thee, (Vulg.) And these sections are divided by Diapsalms.

SYRIAC PSALTER. Of Asaph, when Rabbath of the children of Ammon was wasted. Further, it denotes the vengeance of CHRIST’S judgment against the ungodly.

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