PSALM CXXIII. (NISI QUIA DOMINUS.)
The Church giveth glory to God for her deliverance from the hands of her enemies.
Insupportable. Without bottom, or beyond our strength, Greek: anupostaton. (Calmet) --- Hebrew, "Then the swelling waters it had passed over our soul." (Montanus) (Calmet) --- St. Jerome has, "perhaps they," &c., which is more correct. See Psalm lxviii. 3. (Haydock) --- A torrent implies sudden great troubles. (Worthington)
