A Commentary on the Psalms from Primitive and Mediæval Writers, Volume 2: Psalm 39 to Psalm 80
Overview
Volume two of the Commentary on the Psalms from Primitive and Mediæval Writers covers Psalms 39–80. In addition to verse-by-verse commentary, each Psalm includes an introduction and various thoughts from the writings of the Church Fathers. A dissertation, “Chronology and Authorship of the Psalms,” explores the “original” order of the Psalms and discusses the many problems of trying to discern their “true” chronological sequence.
Top Highlights
“This Psalm is divided into five clauses. The first is the satisfaction of most perfect humility (1–6). The second, the confidence of heavenly mercy (7, 8). The third, that the Lord may turn away His Face from David’s sin (9–12). The fourth, that other sinners will be encouraged if his terrible iniquity should be pardoned (13–17). The fifth, he commemorates the rise of the Church, which even then he looked for (18, 19).” (Page 162)
“grace is as necessary for final perseverance, as for the first call to repentance” (Page 324)
