Salmos 45

Jerome · Comentário Patrístico (catena)

Salmos 45:7

You have been anointed with the oil of gladness above your fellow people, above your apostles. You possess the font of unction; they, the drops. — HOMILY ON PSALM 132[133]

Salmos 45:9

What can be fairer than a soul that is called the daughter of God and that seeks for itself no outward adorning. She believes in Christ, and dowered with this hope of greatness, makes her way to her spouse, for Christ is at once her bridegroom and her Lord. — LETTER 54.3

Salmos 45:13

[Daniel 10:16] "O my lord, at the sight of thee my joints are loosed..." Theodotion interprets it this way, in accordance with what we read in the One Hundred and Second Psalm: "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name." (Psalm 103:1) For our inward nature must direct its gaze without, before we deserve to behold a vision of God; and when we actually have beheld a vision of God, then our inward nature is converted within us and we become wholly of the number of those concerning whom it is written in another Psalm: "All the glory of the daughter of kings is within, in golden borders" (Psalm 45:13). — St. Jerome, Commentary on Daniel, CHAPTER TEN
