Psalms 107

Psalms 107:1

Himself. By repeating here what occurs in Psalm lvi., and lix. David teaches us to excite our fervour by such sentiments as have formerly made an impression upon us. (Berthier) — He spoke before of his own victories: now he considers those of Christ, and of his Church, (Genebrard) as well as the state of the captives. (Theodoret) (Calmet)

Psalms 107:2

My heart, &c. Is not repeated in Hebrew. But it is, [in] Psalm lvi. 8.

Psalms 107:3

Arise, my glory. Is found also in this psalm, though not here in Hebrew, &c. St. Jerome (ad Sun.) thinks some copyist has inserted it. (Calmet) — But it seems to be here in its proper place. (Berthier)

Psalms 107:4

Nations. David made various conquests, which prefigured those of Christ, to whom the rest of the psalm belongs. (St. Augustine) (Worthington)

Psalms 107:7

That. See Psalm lix. 7. (Worthington)

Psalms 107:8

Holiness. Or holy one, sancto: (Haydock) meaning Jeremias xxv. 11., who foretold the end of the captivity, (Calmet) or David himself, and the Messias, his son, in whom he will rejoice. (Haydock)

Psalms 107:43

PSALM CVII. (PARATUM COR MEUS.) The prophet praiseth God for benefits received.
