Psalm 48:12 Douay-Rheims

And their sepulchres shall be their houses for ever. Their dwelling places to all generations: they have called their lands by their names.

George Leo Haydock

1774–1849 Catholic

Sepulchres. Hebrew Kobrom is better than the present Kirbam, their “interior,” and is adopted by the Chaldean, Syriac, &c. (Calmet) — “Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever.” (Protestants) (Haydock) — Called. That is, they have left their names on their graves, which alone remain of their lands, (Challoner) or, they have called cities and countries by their own names, as Alexander and Romulus did, Alexandria, (Haydock) and Rome. (Menochius, &c.) — They have spread their fame throughout the world. (Calmet) — Scarcely two translate the four last verses alike. (Berthier)
