Catholic 1849 · Haydock’s Catholic Bible Commentary, Psalms 63:7

George Leo Haydock, on Ps 63:7

George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Ps 63:7 · Douay-Rheims
“They have searched after iniquities: they have failed in their search. Man shall come to a deep heart:”
On this verse:
“Search. Or, they have made the most diligent investigation, (Berthier) to no purpose. (Haydock) — Thus David and our Saviour were treated. — Heart. That is, crafty, subtle, deep projects and designs; which nevertheless shall not succeed; for God shall be exalted in bringing them to nought, by his wisdom and power. (Challoner) — Hebrew, “both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart is deep.” (Protestants) (Haydock) — But, without the points, the Septuagint is accurate. (Berthier) — The Jews, with all their deep machinations to prevent the belief of Christ’s resurrection, bringing even sleeping witnesses, only made themselves ridiculous. (St. Augustine) (Haydock) — Achitophel was forced to give way, (2 Kings xvii.; Worthington) though he had been considered as an oracle. (Haydock)”
