Psalm 12:5 Douay-Rheims

Lest at any time my enemy say: I have prevailed against him. They that trouble me will rejoice when I am moved:

Augustine of Hippo

A.D. 354–430 Patristic

"Lest at any time mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him" [Psalm 13:4]. The devil's mockery is to be feared. "They that trouble me will exult, if I be moved;" the devil and his angels; who exulted not over that righteous man, Job, when they troubled him; because he was not moved, that is, did not draw back from the steadfastness of his faith. [Job 2:3]
