Verse 7. The dwelling, and so forth Hebrew “the singers, like people dancing, (for joy) all my fountains are in thee.” S. Jerom reads, “strong ones,” and ( Bible.) others, “my thoughts,” instead of “fountains;” which shews that they have read differently. Vesharim, may signify and princes, taken from the line above, though of this we ought to have some proofs from MSS. and so forth Bert.—The authority of the Septuagint may perhaps suffice, ( Bible.) as they have read more correctly máuni, “habitation,” rather than mahyanai, as we have at present. Bert.—If we adopt this sense, ( Bible.) the fountains may denote the nations which shall spring from Sion. Psalms 67:27. Hammond.—All the inhabitants shall be filled with joy in the heavenly Jerusalem. Revelation 17:15. Calmet.—This short, but difficult psalm, allegorically describes the mystery of Christ, and of the Church. Bert.—Catholics may taste pure delights, having peace of conscience, and so forth But the blessed enjoy the most perfect content in the Church triumphant. Worthington. Menochius.
