George Leo Haydock

This; God’s protection (Haydock) and light, (Menochius) or in the very heat of battle: prælium. Septuagint express the Hebrew feminine pronoun, as they do with the Vulgate, ver. 4, unam. There is no neuter in Hebrew, which commonly uses the feminine, instead. (Calmet) — It may be deemed too scrupulous an exactitude, to express this in a version. The word petition may be understood. (Berthier) (Menochius) — The one petition of David comprised every blessing; as he had his mind bent on heaven. (Du Hamel)
