PSALM XXXII. ( JUSTI.) An exhortation to praise God, and to trust in him. Inheritance, in opposition to the Gentiles, 1 Peter ii. 9. (Berthier) --- God made choice particularly of the Jews, as he does now of Christians. (Worthington) Prepared. St. Jerome, "from his most established throne;" whence he beholds all the conduct of men, (Calmet) though he fill all places, and work in all. (Berthier) --- His power and wisdom (ver. 15.) are infinite. (Worthington) Every one, sigillatim. Hebrew yachad, means also "together;" whence the Origenists inferred (Haydock) that all souls were made at first with Adam. (St. Jerome) --- Thus they explained how they came to be all infected. (Berthier) --- But God rather creates them when he infuses them into the body. (Denis the Carthusian) (Haydock) --- St. Augustine could never decide this important question. This text only proves that God is equally Creator of all; (Ecclesiasticus xviii. 1.; Calmet) and He alone made the hearts and souls of all men, as Greek: katamonas implies, Psalm iv. 10., and Genebrard. (Amama) Giant. Or Hebrew, "strong man." Monarchs and the stoutest men have been overthrown by Providence, like Pharao and Sennacherib, and the giant Og. (Calmet) --- History proves that great armies have not always gained the victory, Psalm lxv. 13., and cxlvi. 10. (Berthier) Safety. Either of himself or his master. (Worthington) (Proverbs xxi. 31.) --- This can only be attributed to God's protection, ver. 18. Waiteth. Hebrew, "longeth." (Haydock) --- Protector. Hebrew, "shield." Infidels deride the confidence of the just, as an effect of pride, supposing it is beneath the dignity of God to take notice of so small a creature, which he governs so many worlds. But if there be other worlds besides this, God is sufficient for all; (Berthier) and he will not neglect the work which his hands have deigned to form. (Haydock)
