Keep not silence, O God: hold not your peace, and be not still, O God.
All Commentaries on Psalms 83:1 Go To Psalms 83
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
To thee? Hebrew, "be not silent to thyself. "(Pagnin)
But domi also implies "like "(Bellarmine) and there would otherwise be a sort of tautology. (Berthier)
Christ on earth was like other men: but when he shall come to judgment, none will be comparable to Him. (St. Augustine)
Amama says this exposition is groundless: but others are of a contrary opinion. (Haydock)
The ancient Greek interpreters seem not to have varied from the Septuagint, though St. Jerome adopts the present Hebrew, "be not silent. Hold", which may express the utmost fervour and want of protection. Thy own cause is now at stake: the enemy wishes to destroy religion. (Calmet)
