Come then to the 15th Psalm, which says
distinctly: Preserve Me, O Lord, for
in Thee have I put my
trust Ps. xvi. 1.: and
after this, their assemblies of blood will I not join, nor make
mention of their names between my lips Ib. xvi.
4: “their
drink-offerings of blood will I not offer.” The Psalmist
abhors the bloody rites, and the very names of the false gods.;
since they have refused me, and chosen Cæsar as their
king John xix 15. Cyril applies to the Jews what
the Psalmist says concerning those that hasten after another god.: and also the next words, I foresaw
the Lord alway before Me, because He is
at My right hand, that I may not be moved Ps. xvi. 8.: and soon after Yea and even until
night my reins chastened me Ib.
7. Quoting from memory,
Cyril transposes these sentences.. And
after this He says most plainly, For Thou wilt not leave My soul in
hell Ib.
10. R.V. in
Sheol, Sept. in Hades.; neither wilt
Thou suffer Thine Holy One to see corruption. He said not,
neither wilt Thou suffer Thine Holy One to see death, since then He
would not have died; but corruption, saith He, I see not, and
shall not abide in death. Thou hast made known to Me the ways
of life Ib.
11.. Behold here
is plainly preached a life after death. Come also to the 29th
Psalm, I will extol Thee, O Lord,
for Thou hast lifted Me up, and hast not made My foes to rejoice over
Me Ib. xxx.
1.. What is it
that took place? Wert thou rescued from enemies, or wert thou
released when about to be smitten? He says himself most plainly,
O Lord, Thou hast brought up My soul from
hell Ib.
3. R.V. from
Sheol, Sept. from Hades.. There he
says, Thou wilt not leave, prophetically: and here he speaks of
that which is to take place as having taken place, Thou hast brought
up. Thou hast saved Me from them that go down into the
pit Ib.
3.. At what time
shall the event occur? Weeping shall continue for the evening,
and joy cometh in the morning Ib.
5.: for in
the evening was the sorrow of the disciplines, and in the morning the
joy of the resurrection.
