George Leo Haydock, on Ps 37:13
George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Ps 37:13 · Douay-Rheims
“And they that sought my soul used violence. And they that sought evils to me spoke vain things, and studied deceits all the day long.”
On this verse:
“Violence. Hebrew, “laid snares.” This treatment might be expected from enemies, since friends proved so treacherous. (Haydock) — They would willingly have slain David. The will is often put for the deed. (Calmet) — Things. Endeavouring to engage me again in sin, being displeased because I have quitted their evil company; (Worthington) or they raise their fortune, by causing dissensions in the state. This might be well applied to the Pharisees, who persecuted Christ.”
