EXPLANATION

Verse 16. Faithful; or continue a long time. Menochius. 3 Kennicott. 11:38.—Where is not the house of David? or how is this accomplished, except in the Church?—Thy face. Septuagint “before me,” which is conformable to Psalms 88:38. David saw Solomon on the throne, and beheld the Messias in spirit. Calmet.—Souls departed still see what regards them, (Sa.) if they be happy. Bible.
