Psalm 4:3 Douay-Rheims

O ye sons of men, how long will you be dull of heart? why do you love vanity, and seek after lying?

George Leo Haydock

1774–1849 Catholic

O. This is a sort of manifesto to the rebels; and an invitation for them to return to their duty, desisting from setting up a false king, or a lie. (Haydock) — Dull. Hebrew, “my glory to shame.” But the reading of the Septuagint seems preferable, (Calmet) as the rhyme in Hebrew is now lost, (Fourmont) and the text has been altered (Houbigant) by an injudicious junction of words, and by using c for b. In ancient manuscripts, the words were all joined together, (Berthier) as may be seen in the specimen of the Alexandrian Septuagint given by Grabe. Protestants, “How long will ye turn my glory into shame?” &c. (Haydock)
