You are my hiding place; you shall preserve me from trouble; you shall surround me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.
Read Chapter 32
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
7. "Thou art my refuge from the pressures, which have compassed me about:" Thou art my refuge from the pressure of my sins, which hath compassed my heart. "O Thou, my Rejoicing, deliver me from them that compass me about" (ver. 7): in Thee is my joy: deliver me from the sorrow which my sins bring upon me.
Refuge. Hebrew, "hiding "(Psalm xxx. 21.; Haydock) or asylum. (Calmet)
Which. Hebrew, "thou shalt surround me with songs of deliverance. Sela. "Or "my praise saving, thou wilt environ me always. "(St. Jerome) (Haydock)
Perhaps th may now occupy the place of m, as the Greeks all agree; and the sense is at least the same. (Berthier)
