It is God that avenges me, and subdues the people under me.
All Commentaries on Psalms 18:47 Go To Psalms 18
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Avengest, or "grantest me revenges "(Haydock) and the victory; inflicting a just punishment on the wicked. David was too well informed to delight in sentiments of revenge, 3 Kings iii. 11. Jesus Christ takes vengeance on his enemies, but this is done without passion. The love of justice is his only motive. David approves of this conduct. (Calmet)
Enraged enemies. Vulgate iracundis. (Haydock)
Septuagint have thus explained aph, "wrath "others join it with the following verse, "But (Calmet) or yea "(Haydock) etiam. The former version is, however, very accurate. (Berthier)
