Psalms 62:1

Verse 1. Edom, (Idumææ.) Bible.—Several copies read Judææ; which agrees with the Hebrew and so forth The Idumeans, after the captivity, occupied those deserts ( Calmet.) or Ziph, Haret, and so forth ( Worthington.) where David had screened himself from the fury of Saul. This psalm may express his sentiments, (Theod. Muis.) or those of the captives, returning home, ( Calmet.) or it may agree with all those, who thirst after their heavenly country. Bert.—S. Jerom explains it of the coming of Christ, and it was used in the morning service. Saint John Chrysostom Psalms 140. Calmet.—Catholics, who are imprisoned for their faith, and cannot approach the tabernacle, may here find comfort. Worthington.
