Psalm 20:2 Douay-Rheims

May the Lord hear thee in the day of tribulation: may the name of the God of Jacob protect thee.

George Leo Haydock

1774–1849 Catholic

Hear thee, the Ruler; or Jesus Christ praying for his people. (Worthington) — Tribulation. War is always such. The victors themselves suffer, and many souls perish. (Calmet) — Name. The Messias, as the Jews often explain the expression, (Hooke, Prin.) or God himself, as others have it. Nomen ejus ipse. (Calmet) — The blessed Trinity is all one God. The name of the Lord is a strong tower, &c., Proverbs xviii. 10. It was made known to Moses, to give him confidence, Exodus iii. 13. (Haydock) — Great was the honour conferred on the patriarchs, that God should be styled the God of Abraham, &c.! But ours is not less, since we are authorized to call Him Our Father. [Matthew vi. 9.] (Berthier)
