A Commentary On The Psalms From Primitive and Mediæval Writers Volumes 1 To 4 by Rev. J.M. Neale D.D.

ARG. THOMAS. That CHRIST, good and gracious, may hear the desires of them that beseech Him. The Voice of CHRIST to the FATHER. During the Fast. A Prophecy concerning CHRIST, and counsel always to pour forth prayer to GOD. Concerning laudable prayer.

VEN. BEDE. David, signifies the LORD the SAVIOUR: either because the interpretation thereof is held to be, strong of hand and desirable, or because He Who is GOD over all, blessed for ever, derived from David’s stem.

Throughout the whole Psalm the LORD JESUS CHRIST makes His prayer: in the first portion uttering words which can clearly be applied to Him only, Bow down Thine ear, O Lord, &c. In the second part, He prays yet more humbly for His members, whose Head He is: Teach Me Thy way, O Lord. In the third portion, He utters again in His own person what specially belongs to Himself: O God, the proud are risen against Me.

SYRIAC PSALTER. Of David, when he built a house unto the LORD, and a prophecy of the calling of the Gentiles. Further, a special prayer of a righteous man.

EUSEBIUS OF CÆSAREA. A Prayer of David, and a prophecy of the calling of the Gentiles.

S. ATHANASIUS. A Psalm of address, of prayer, and supplication.
