Origen of Alexandria · Comentário Patrístico (catena)

Salmos 150:3

The trumpet is the contemplative mind or the mind by which the teaching of the spirit is embraced. The harp is the busy mind that is quickened by the commands of Christ. — COMMENTARY ON THE PSALMS 150:3-5

Salmos 150:4

The timbrel represents the death of fleshly desire because of honesty itself. Dancing is the agreement of reasonable spirits all saying the same thing and in which there are no divisions. The stringed instruments suggest the unison of the voices of moral excellence and the unity of the organ which is the church of God resting on reflective and active minds. — COMMENTARY ON THE PSALMS 150:3-5

Salmos 150:5

The melodious cymbal reflects the active mind affixed on its desire for Christ; the joyous cymbal the purified mind inspired by the salvation of Christ. — COMMENTARY ON THE PSALMS 150:3-5
