George Leo Haydock, on Ps 42:4

George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Ps 42:4 · Douay-Rheims
“And I will go in to the altar of God: to God who giveth joy to my youth.”
On this verse:
“Youth. St. Jerome, “the God of my joy and exultation.” (Haydock) — Syriac and Arabic agree with us, and Gil means, (Calmet) a young man, in Arabic and Hebrew. (Hammond) — People in youth, shew for the effects of joy. (Berthier) — Accompanied with light, and a pure intention, we may offer sacrifice to God, who changeth our corruptions into newness of life. (Worthington) — The Levites might sing near the altar, but could not offer victims. (Calmet)”
