In the LORD put I my trust: how say you to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
All Commentaries on Psalms 11:1 Go To Psalms 11
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
] Hebrew Lamnatseach led avid, (Haydock) "to the master of music or, or to David. "(Calmet)
St. Jerome supplies the word psalm. That David, or any other, should give the title of master of music to so great a prince may seem strange; and therefore the Vulgate may perhaps be as accurate. St. Jerome and Pagnin have "to the victor of David. "Almost all agree that he composed this psalm (Haydock) when he began to be persecuted by Saul. He expresses his confidence in God; when his friends advised him to flee. (Calmet)
The Fathers take hence occasion to caution the faithful against the insidious speeches of those who pretend that they can procure greater security than the Church affords, (Haydock) and that they teach a doctrine of greater perfection. (Sts. Augustine, Jerome) (Calmet)
