George Leo Haydock

Bound. Their chariot wheels are entangled, Exodus xiv. 25. (Calmet) — Those who trust in the power of man, fall into captivity. (Worthington) — Their feet are ensnared. (Berthier) — The king. Hebrew, “Let the king hear us when we call.” Protestants, (Haydock) “our king shall hear,” &c. Syriac, “Word of the Lord, redeem us; Potent king, hear,” &c. But the Septuagint is preferable, and the best critics often deviate from the Jews; (Muis; Calmet) though here the sense is very good, and adopted by St. Jerome. God is styled king in Hebrew. (Haydock) — This title is commonly given to the Messias. (Berthier) — The Chaldean seems to have had the second person of the blessed Trinity in view, as many of the Jews were acquainted with this mystery, particularly after the propagation of the gospel, when the paraphrase on the psalms was probably composed. (Haydock) — When the head is safe, the body is also preserved. (Worthington) — We must pray for our superiors, that we also may lead a quiet life, 1 Timothy ii. 2. Their welfare is for the public good. (Haydock) Bible Text & Cross-references: A prayer for the king. 1 Unto the end. A psalm for David. 2 May the Lord hear thee in the day of tribulation: may the name of the God of Jacob protect thee. 3 May he send thee help from the sanctuary: and defend thee out of Sion. 4 May he be mindful of all thy sacrifices: and may thy whole burnt-offering be made fat. 5 May he give thee according to thy own heart; and confirm all thy counsels. 6 We will rejoice in thy salvation; and in the name of our God we shall be exalted. 7 The Lord fulfil all thy petitions: now have I known that the Lord hath saved his anointed. He will hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is in powers. 8 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will call upon the name of the Lord, our God. 9 They are bound, and have fallen; but we are risen, and are set upright. O Lord, save the king: and hear us in the day that we shall call upon thee.
