Psalms 49:21

PSALM XLIX. (DEUS DEORUM.)

The coming of Christ: who prefers virtue and inward purity before the blood of victims.

Silent, and deferred punishment, (St. Augustine) waiting for thy conversion, Romans ii. 4. --- Unjustly, is not expressed in Hebrew. (Berthier) --- Face, judgment and hell, (Chaldean) or all these things, (St. Jerome) and thy manifold transgressions. The sight will be most intolerable. (Calmet)
