He makes the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise you the LORD.
All Commentaries on Psalms 113:9 Go To Psalms 113
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Children. Anna and Elizabeth, who were naturally barren, were blessed with what they so eagerly desired, by the divine power. (Haydock)
It may be understood of the Gentile world, after it had embraced the faith, (St. Jerome; Galatians iv. 17.; St. Chrysostom) or of the captives, (Isaias lvi. 1., and xlix. 21., and Psalm lxvii. 7.; Calmet) though Isaias may also refer to the Church. (Haydock)
Joseph was wonderfully advanced in glory, and Sara, Rebecca, were made fruitful.
