Psalm 44:8
Douay-Rheims
Thou hast loved justice, and hated iniquity: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
Eusebius of Caesarea
This ointment mentioned was nothing common or earthly, nothing resembling that ordained by the Mosaic law, fashioned of corruptible matter, with which it was the custom to anoint Hebrew priests and kings.
