1. I have not thought that the th Psalm required an exposition; since I have already expounded it in the th Psalm,[Psalms 57:8-12] and in the th, of the last divisions of which this Psalm consisteth. For the last part of the th is the first of this, as far as the verse, “Thy glory is above all the earth.” Henceforth to the end, is the last part of the th: as the last part of the th is the same as that of the th, from the verse, “The images of the heathen are but gold and silver:” as the ...

... the th: as the last part of the th is the same as that of the th, from the verse, “The images of the heathen are but gold and silver:” as the th[4899] and d, with a few alterations in the middle, have everything the same from the beginning to the end. Whatever slight differences therefore occur in this th Psalm, compared with those two, of parts of which it is composed, are easy to understand; just as we find in the th,[Psalms 57:7-8] “I will sing and give praise; awake, O my glory:” here,“ I will sing and give praise, with my glory.” Awake, is said there, that he may sing and give praise therewith. Also, there, “Thy mercy is great” (or, as some translate, “is lifted up”) “unto ...

... field of the holy scriptures. They will suffice to warn you that you must shut the door of your breast and fortify your brow by often making the sign of the cross. Thus alone will the destroyer of Egypt find no place to attack you; thus alone will the first-born of your soul escape the fate of the first-born of the Egyptians; thus alone will you be able with the prophet to say: “my heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise. Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp.”[Psalms 57:7-8] For, sin stricken as she is, even Tyre is bidden to take up her harp and to do penance; like Peter she is told to wash away the stains of her former foulness with bitter tears. Howbeit, let us know nothing of penitence, lest the thought of it lead ...

CCEL Footnote 1192 (In-Text, Margin)
55. man is “crowned with glory and honour,” and “glory, honour and peace” are laid up by promise “to every man that worketh good.” There is moreover a special and peculiar glory for Israelites “to whom,” it is said “pertaineth the adoption and the glory…and the service,” and the Psalmist speaks of a certain glory of his own, “that my glory may sing praise to Thee;” and again “Awake up my glory”[Psalms 57:8] and according to the Apostle there is a certain glory of sun and moon and stars, and “the ministration of condemnation is glorious.” While then so many things are glorified, do you wish the Spirit alone of all things to be unglorified? Yet the Apostle says “the ministration of the Spirit is ...
