59:1
Menochius
Changed. Psalm xliv. Title, Psalm xv., doctrine explaining what will be the progress of the Church. (Menochius)
Berthier
It seems to have the same import as understanding, in other titles, but here is of little authority. (Berthier)
St. Augustine
It has no connexion with the psalm, which seems to have been written before David had obtained the sovereignty over Israel, (Houbigant; ver. 8) or it expresses the sentiments of the captives, (Calmet) and of Jesus Christ, and his Church. (St. Augustine)
59:2
Haydock
Set fire. Hebrew, "fought against Syria of Mesopotamia, and Syria of Soba." (St. Jerome) (2 Kings 8:10.) (Haydock)
Menochius
Twelve. Abisai slew 18,000, perhaps on another occasion; (1 Paralipomenon 18:12.) so that this title does not contradict history. (Menochius)
59:3
Berthier
Off. Chastising thy people frequently under Moses, etc. (Berthier)
St. Hilary
On us. Redeeming mankind, which thou hadst condemned, for the fault of Adam, and giving us a more abundant grace, Romans 5:9. (St. Hilary)
Worthington
Thou hast treated us like a good physician, (Deuteronomy 32:39.; Calmet) chastising us for our sins, that we might improve in virtue. (Worthington)
59:4
Menochius
Moved. He personifies the earth, which had fallen into the hands of the Chaldeans, (Calmet) or had experienced various commotions under Saul, etc., (Haydock) which he denotes by the mention of an earthquake. (Menochius)
59:5
Haydock
Sorrow. Hebrew, "muddy," such as is given to slaves or malefactors, (Matthew 27:34.) mixed with myrrh, or venom. Literally, "wine of trembling," (Calmet) or soporiferous. (St. Jerome) (Haydock)
Berthier
All these expressions give the idea of something disagreeable. (Berthier)
Menochius
The people became penitent, or were astonished. (Menochius)
59:6
Eusebio † 339 d.C.
Warning, to amend, (Worthington) the sign of the cross (Calmet) in baptism, (St. Jerome) or confirmation. (Eusebius)
Calmet
It was customary to erect a pole, on which some signal was placed, in case of invasion, Isaias 5:26., and 11:12., etc. (Calmet)
Berthier
Bow. Hebrew kossoth, (Haydock) as St. Jerome, etc., have read, though the present Hebrew end with t, less correctly, and is explained, "because of the truth." (Calmet) (Berthier)
59:7
Menochius
Save me. The king praying for all. (Menochius)
Haydock
St. Augustine reads, me, (Calmet) though the Vulgate does not here express it. (Haydock)
Calmet

Haydock
Hear me. Hebrew, "him." But the margin has, me. (Haydock)

Worthington
Holy one, Jesus Christ, (Eusebius) the prophet, (Menochius) the sanctuary, (Calmet) or oracle. (Worthington)
Calmet
He had promised that the captives should return in seventy years time, Jeremias 25:11., and 29:10. (Calmet)
Sichem. (partibor Sichimam....metibor.) These two verbs are sometimes used for partiar and metiar, in ancient authors.
Tabernacles. Hebrew, "succoth." (Berthier) (Genesis 33:17.)
Menochius
It may also signify the Arabs, who lived in tents. (Menochius)
David's dominion extended over these nations, (Haydock) and the captives at Babylon hoped to recover them, as the Machabees did. The kingdoms of Juda and Israel were no more divided, (Isaias 11:13., and Jeremias 31:8.) to shew the unity of the Church.
59:9
Calmet
Head. This tribe was at the head of the kingdom of Israel, but submitted to David, (Haydock) and afforded excellent soldiers and captains. (Calmet)

His temporal kingdom was extended by God, who will crown his elect. (Worthington)

Haydock
The word king implies all this. (Haydock)
Berthier

59:10
Worthington
The pot of my hope; or my watering pot. That is, a vessel for meaner uses, by being reduced to serve me, even in the meanest employments. (Challoner) (Worthington)
Plautus (Mort. 2:scen. 1. 40) says, Ego vos pro matula habeo, etc. Symmachus adopts the sense of the Septuagint amerimnias, as réts, in Syriac means "to trust," (Daniel 3:28.) and "to wash" in Hebrew. It was customary to throw lots into a pot full of water, and that which came out last was most esteemed. To this custom the psalmist may allude, (Calmet) or he hoped that the fruitful region of Moab would supply him with food. It was subject to David, (2 Kings 8:2.; Haydock) and to the Machabees, 1 Machabees 5:6.
Diod. Arrian. Justin
Shoe, to be untied, or carried, as by the meanest slaves, (Matthew 3:11.) or to take possession, Deuteronomy 11:24. Thus "Alexander threw a javelin, and danced on the shore of Asia, begging that those lands would not receive him unwillingly for king." (Diod. Arrian. Justin.)
Calmet
David conquered Idumea, (2 Kings 8:14.; Haydock) as Hyrcanus did afterwards. (Josephus, [Antiquities?] 13:17.) (Calmet)

Calmet
Subject, or "friends," Psalm 107:10. (Calmet)
Berthier
Protestants, "Philistia, triumph thou, because of me." Marginal note insinuates this is spoken "by irony;" but (Haydock) Hebrew properly means, "make an alliance with me;" or, Syriac, "I will shout for joy over Palestine." This country was subdued by the Machabees, (1 Machabees 4:15.; Calmet) as it had been tributary to David, 2 Kings 8:2. (Berthier)
Houbigant
"I will make a league against the Philistines." (Houbigant)
59:11
Berthier

Eusebio † 339 d.C.
The Fathers understand the Church. (Eusebius)
59:12
Worthington
Off? God punishes and rewards. (Worthington)
Haydock
And wilt; or, "yet thou wilt not," etc. (Haydock)

59:10
The pot of my hope.... Or my watering pot. That is, a vessel for meaner uses, by being reduced to serve me, even in the meanest employments.—Ibid. Foreigners.... So the Philistines are called, who had no kindred with the Israelites; whereas the Edomites, Moabites, etc., were originally of the same family.
59:1
The change of state from aduersitie to prosperitie in the people of Israel, was a figure of the like change in the Church of Christ,
worthie to be remembred,
for the instruction,
of Gods beloued,
as the same are more largely recorded in the bookes of kinges.
59:3
God suffereth his people to be afflicted, as wel for their sinnes, as for exercise in vertue,
after sheweth his mercie in pardoning, and fauour in aduancing them.
59:5
by punishīg sinners.
59:6
VVarning them to amēd.
and then restoreth them to former good state.

God also as he hath promised by his holie oracle,
hath aduanced king Dauid, in his temporal kingdom, and doth much more aduance him, and other elect in euerlasting life,

… “For what is your life?” saith Holy Scripture; “it is a vapour that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.” Therefore in that health was restored to this man’s body for a time, some enduringness was restored to a vapour.

Tempore David eiusque bellis oraeulum hoc impletum esse, ex is quae 2 Heg. 8, 1-14 enarrantur sine ullo negotio apparet.
