Salmos 39
Diodorus of Tarsus · Comentário Patrístico (catena)
Salmos 39:1
"I said" [has] the sense, "I determined," his meaning being, I determined within myself not to sin against my oppressor simply in action but also not to say anything against him by word of mouth, especially since what is initially verbal abuse turns to physical abuse, and the person who is determined not to do physical harm ought not have recourse to verbal abuse. — COMMENTARY ON PSALM 39
Salmos 39:4
Not even all the possessions amassed nor all humankind, if measured by their lifetime, from Adam to the last human being—not even this measure is anything in comparison with the measure of your life, Lord. — COMMENTARY ON PSALM 39
Salmos 39:9
For my part, I realized that this happens to me with your permission, and I waited longer in the knowledge that I would receive help from the same quarter from which comes also the allowance of my suffering. — COMMENTARY ON PSALM 39
Salmos 39:11
I realize that all your scourging proves to be for a person's correction and betterment; it is not as though you were indifferent to human beings in allowing them to suffer, instead preferring to improve their souls. — COMMENTARY ON PSALM 39
