... girded me with gladness.” Also there “Ephraim, the strength of my head:” but here, “Ephraim the taking up of my head.” But strength cometh from taking up, that is, He maketh men strong by taking up, causing fruit in us; for the interpretation of Ephraim is, bearing fruit. But “taking up” may be understood of us, when we take up Christ; or of Christ, when He, who is Head of the Church, taketh us up. And the words, “them that trouble us,” in the former Psalm, are the same with “our enemies,” in this.[Psalms 108:13]
