PSALM XCIII. (DEUS .)
God shall judge and punish the oppressors of his people.
Fatherless. Septuagint places this after widow, and have here the stranger, or "proselyte," (Haydock) including those who were circumcised, or had only renounced idolatry. --- Jeremias and Ezechiel describe the cruelty of the Chaldeans. (Calmet) --- Similar acts of impious rage are but too visible in all ages. (Haydock)
Of Jacob. A wretched people in captivity. This is spoken insultingly, he knows not, or cannot hinder, their distress, Psalm xiii. 1., and lxxii. 6. (Calmet) --- The insolence and cruelty of infidels are reprobated.
