7.  Also the blessed David shall advise thee the meaning of this, saying, Thou hast prepared a table before me in the presence of them that afflict me Ps. xxiii. 5..  What he says, is to this effect:  Before Thy coming, the evil spirits prepared a table for men ἠλισγημένην, a good restoration by Milles, with Codd. Roe, Casaub. Coislin.  The earlier printed texts had ἠλυγισμένην, “overshadowed.”  Cf. Mal. i. 7:  ἄρτους ἠλισγημένους ,.…Τράπεζα Κυρίου ἠλισγημένη ἐστίν, polluted and defiled and full of devilish influence Cyril refers to the idolatrous feasts, which St. Paul calls “the table of devils,” 1 Cor. x. 21.; but since Thy coming. O Lord, Thou hast prepared a table before me.  When the man says to God, Thou hast prepared before me a table, what other does he indicate but that mystical and spiritual Table, which God hath prepared for us over against, that is, contrary and in opposition to the evil spirits?  And very truly; for that had communion with devils, but this, with God.  Thou hast anointed my head with oil Ps. xxiii. 5..  With oil He anointed thine head upon thy forehead, for the seal which thou hast of God; that thou mayest be made the engraving of the signet, Holiness unto God Ex. xxviii. 36; Ecclus. xlv. 12.  The plate of pure gold on the forefront of Aaron’s mitre was engraved with the motto, Holy unto the Lord.  This symbolism Cyril transfers to the sacramental Chrism, in which the forehead is signed with ointment, and the soul with the seal of God..  And thy cup intoxicateth me, as very strong Ps. xxiii. 5:  My cup runneth over.  Eusebius (Dem. Evang. I. c. 10, § 28) applies the Psalm, as Cyril does, to the Eucharist..  Thou seest that cup here spoken of, which Jesus took in His hands, and gave thanks, and said, This is My blood, which is shed for many for the remission of sins Matt. xxvi. 28..
