Saranno in agitazione le genti,the sound of the waues therof. The Gentiles shal be trubled,qui conturbas profundum maris, / sonum fluctuum ejus. / Turbabuntur gentes, 9And they that dwell in the uttermost borders shall be afraid at thy signs: thou shalt make the outgoings of the morning and of the evening to be joyful.impauriti gli ultimi abitatori della terra, a causa de' tuoi prodigj: tu spanderai l'allegrezza, e dove nasce il mattino, e dove nasce la sera.and they that inhabite the borders shal be affraide of thy signes: the outegoinges of the morning and euening thou shalt delight.et timebunt qui habitant terminos a signis tuis; / exitus matutini et vespere delectabis. 10Thou hast visited the earth, and hast plentifully watered it; thou hast many ways enriched it.

Haydock
Perhaps the former might have put this psalm of David into the hands of the people, when they were going to Babylon, and Ezechiel might have exhorted them to recite it at their return. (Haydock)
Calmet
It seems to have been composed by David, in thanksgiving for rain; (Psalm xxviii.; Muis) or some of the Levites wrote it, after God had removed the scourge of drought, with which he had afflicted the people, in consequence of their neglecting to finish the temple, Aggeus 1:4., and Malachias 3:9. (Calmet)
64:2
Grotius
Hymn. Or Hebrew, "Praise is silent," (Haydock) "waiteth," (Protestants) or "silence is praise for thee, O God." (Pagnin) Favete linguis. (Horace) (Grotius)

Praises of those who are out of the Church, are not acceptable to God. (Worthington)

O. Hebrew, "hearer of prayer," (Calmet) or "graciously hear my prayer, till all," etc. (St. Jerome) (Houbigant)
Menochius
To thee. At the last judgment, or (Calmet) at the vocation of the Gentiles. (Berthier) (Menochius)
64:4
Calmet
Transgressions. These are the words of the Christian converts, (Eusebius) or of the Jews, who acknowledge that they have been justly punished with drought, for neglecting the temple and first fruits, Aggeus 1:4., and Malachias 3:9. (Calmet)
Berthier
Hebrew, "thou wilt expiate our transgressions," which denotes Christ's satisfaction. (Berthier)
Worthington
Though the wicked threaten, we fear nothing, as long as thou wilt pardon our offences. (Worthington)
Menochius
These have been the occasion of our past sorrows. (Menochius)

Calmet
Off. The Jews were dispersed into all countries, (Jeremias 31:8.) and all are called to the true faith. (Calmet)
64:7
Worthington
Strength, or rain. The power (Calmet) and goodness of God, are described with regard to the captives, and converted nations, (Berthier) and the great works of the creation. (Worthington)
64:8
Haydock
Troublest. Protestants, "stillest the noise." (Haydock)
Worthington
Troubled. The most obdurate are converted from all countries. (Worthington)
64:9
Calmet
Joyful. People both of the east and west shall learn to fear thee; or thy chosen people shall dwell in peace, and attend the morning and evening service. (Eusebius) (Calmet)
Both morning and evening afford delight, as people may labour, or take some rest, according to their different wants.
64:10
Calmet
River. Hebrew, "the division," or all the seas and fountains (Berthier) of consequence, (Menochius) particularly the Jordan, which overflows, like the Euphrates, about Pentecost, Josue 3:15., and Jeremias 12:5. (Calmet)
Haydock
Its, the earth's, after a plentiful rain. (Haydock)
64:11
Berthier
Showers. This gives the sense, rather than the words of the Hebrew. (Berthier)

Worthington
The most barren will bring forth fruit, and the perfect shall advance in merit. (Worthington)
64:14
Berthier
Clothed, with fleeces, (Haydock) or rather, shall be surrounded with sheep. Hebrew also, "the pastures shall be covered with sheep." Houbigant would read e, for c, and translate, "the mountains shall be clothed with flocks." But such changes require some proof, and the sense is the same. (Berthier)
Haydock
All nature (Menochius) praises God in its own manner, when it answers the designs of God. Yet man is chiefly invited to sing. (Haydock)
Haydock
The pastors, (Worthington) like rams, lead the way; but all the just, without exception, shall be happy in their celestial mansions, and with the utmost content, shall join in the hymns of Sion. (Haydock)

Eutym. of the temporal state of the Iewes, that the militant Church shal stil be blessed from the beginning to the end, yelding expected fruict; and al the iust, that perseuere to the end of their liues, shal receiue most happie and glorious Reward of the iust. revvardes of their laboures. As S. Paul after his meritorious trauels confidently expected his glorious revvard, vvhen he saide (2. Tim. 4.) I haue fought a good fight, I haue consummate my course, I haue kept my faith: Concerning the rest, there is layde vp for me, a Crovvne of iustice, vvhich our Lord vvil render to me Sainctes crownes are of Gods benignitie. in that day, a iust Iudge. And not only to me, but to them also that loue his coming. And this is called the crovvne of the yeare of Gods benignitie, because God of his ovvne benignitie, vvithout mans former desert geueth grace, and in the end for merite folovving, geueth a crovvne of glorie. So our Blessed Sauiour according to his fulnes of grace, vvhich vvas in his soule, and infinite merite, receiued a crovvne of glorie, in the consummation of his temporal life, after the space of thirtie three yeares. And our Blessed Ladie the mother The Corones of our Lord, and our Ladie. of God, receiued an ansvverable crovvne to her excellent grace and merites, in the consummation of her life, at the end of sixtie three yeares. In memorie of vvhich numbers of yeares, deuout men haue piously instituted certaine formes of prayers, called the Crovvnes, or Corones of our Sauiour, and of our Ladie.

30. We are instructed and taught that “what is seemly” is put in our Scriptures in the first place. (In Greek it is called πρέπον .) For we read: “A Hymn beseems Thee, O God, in Sion.” In Greek this is: Σοί πρέπει ὕμνος ὁ θεὸς ἐν Σιών .
St Ambrose of Milan † AD 397 On the Duties of the Clergy 1.45
… But afterwards He, Who came in the form of a servant, and in the likeness of man, renewed him with His Spirit, and poured His grace into his heart, and put on Himself the splendour of the redemption of the human race.
