George Leo Haydock

Direct, ( directo. ) Protestants, “in an even place,” (Haydock) in the court where the Levites sung. (Vatable) — I have followed the paths of justice, and hope soon to be able to praise thee in thy temple. (Calmet) — These seven last verses are daily recited at Mass. But do we reflect what innocence and fervour are required of the sacred ministers? I cannot assert that my paths have never strayed from the right way. Pardon my transgressions, and enable me henceforth to live so that I may be worthy to sound forth thy praise, and to appear in thy sanctuary. (Berthier) — Thee. Hebrew, “the Lord.” (Haydock) — The psalms of David are now used in every Christian Church. (Euthymius; Menochius) Bible Text & Cross-references: David’s prayer to God in his distress, to be delivered, that he may come to worship him in his tabernacle. 1 Unto the end. A psalm for David. Judge me, O Lord, for I have walked in my innocence: and I have put my trust in the Lord, and shall not be weakened. 2 Prove me, O Lord, and try me; burn my reins and my heart. 3 For thy mercy is before my eyes: and I am well pleased with thy truth. 4 I have not sat with the council of vanity: neither will I go in with the doers of unjust things. 5 I have hated the assembly of the malignant; and with the wicked I will not sit. 6 I will wash my hands among the innocent: and will compass thy altar, O Lord. 7 That I may hear the voice of thy praise: and tell of all thy wondrous works. 8 I have loved, O Lord, the beauty of thy house; and the place where thy glory dwelleth. 9 Take not away my soul, O God, with the wicked: nor my life with bloody men: 10 In whose hands are iniquities: their right hand is filled with gifts. 11 But as for me, I have walked in my innocence: redeem me, and have mercy on me. 12 My foot hath stood in the direct way: in the churches I will bless thee, O Lord.
