Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.
All Commentaries on Psalms 81:1 Go To Psalms 81
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
No such thing did ye hear in this when it was reading. Therefore take the presses for the mystery of the Church, which is now transacting. In the presses we observe three things, pressure, and of the pressure two things, one to be laid up, the other to be thrown away. There takes place then in the press a treading, a crushing, a weight: and with these the oil strains out secretly into the vat, the lees run openly down the streets.
