George Leo Haydock

Poverty. Septuagint have read į ni instead of haoni, “my iniquity,” which seems less accurate, as David had not offended Saul. Symmachus has “malice,” (Calmet) or “ill-treatment,” kakosin . (Haydock) — We may form some judgment of David’s distress, from his being obliged to eat the consecrated bread at Nobe. (Calmet) — Yet without making any change in the Hebrew, we may explain it in the sense of the Vulgate, as įve signifies to be “bent down.” (Berthier) — “Chastisements waste my strength.” (Pr. disc.) — Jesus was a man of sorrows.
