George Leo Haydock, on Ps 49:4

“He shall call heaven from above, and the earth, to judge his people.”

“Earth. As if they were animated, Deuteronomy iv. 26., and xxxii. 1., Isaias i. 2., and Jeremias ii. 12. — Some understand the angels and apostles by heaven. (Calmet) — Judge. Literally, “to divide,” discernere, (Haydock) the goats from the sheep, Matthew xxv. 32. (Calmet) (Menochius) — The whole earth, particularly the elect, will approve of God’s decree, 1 Corinthians vi. 2.”
