Athanasius of Alexandria, on Isa 38:20
Athanasius of Alexandria · c. A.D. 296–373
Isa 38:20 · Douay-Rheims
“O Lord, save me, and we will sing our psalms all the days of our life in the house of the Lord.”
On this verse:
“At no time should one freely praise God more than when one has passed through afflictions. Nor again should one at any time give thanks more than when he finds rest from toil and temptations. As Hezekiah, when the Assyrians perished, praised the Lord and gave thanks, saying, "The Lord is my salvation, and I will not cease to bless you with harp all the days of my life, before the house of the Lord."”
