Gregory of Nazianzus, on Ps 75:4

“There hath he broken the powers of bows, the shield, the sword, and the battie.”

“I will remind you again about Illuminations, and that often, and will reckon them up from holy Scripture. For I myself shall be happier for remembering them (for what is sweeter than light to those who have tasted light?). I will dazzle you with my words: "There is sprung up a light for the righteous, and its partner joyful gladness." And, "The light of the righteous is everlasting";8 and "You are shining wondrously from the everlasting mountains" is said to God, I think of the angelic powers that aid our attempts to do good. You have heard David's words: "The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear?" Now he asks that the Light and the Truth may be sent forth for him, now giving thanks that he has a share in it, in that the Light of God is marked on him; that is, that the signs of the illumination given are impressed on him and recognized.”
