George Leo Haydock

Uttered. Hebrew rachash, “boileth,” as one unable to contain himself. (Berthier) — Speak, or “dedicate,” dico, (Haydock) though here it only means to speak. (Calmet) — He addresses the object of his praise, instead of invoking the muses. (St. Jerome) — Swiftly. I have not to meditate. (Calmet) — The Holy Ghost moves my tongue, (2 Peter i. 21.) as fast as my hands can write, Jeremias xxxvi. 18., and 4 Esdras xiv. 39. (Haydock) — High mysteries, in honour of the great king, occupy my thoughts, and to him I refer this canticle. (Worthington)
