Basil of Caesarea, on Ps 61:2

Basil of Caesarea · c. A.D. 330–379
Ps 61:2 · Douay-Rheims
“Shall not my soul be subject to God? for from him is my salvation.”
On this verse:
“"For he is my God and my savior; he is my protector, I shall be moved no more." The Son, who is from God, is our God. He is also Savior of the human race, who supports our weakness, who corrects the disturbance that springs up in our souls from temptations. "I shall be moved no more." Humanly he confesses his disturbance. "More." For it is impossible that there should not be some disturbance from temptations in the human soul. While we are committing small and few sins, we are in a way mildly disturbed, being tossed about like the leaves by a gentle breeze; but, when our vices are more and greater, in proportion to the increase of our sins the disturbance is apt to be intensified.”
