George Leo Haydock, on Ps 121:7

George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Ps 121:7 · Douay-Rheims
“Let peace be in thy strength: and abundance in thy towers.”
On this verse:
“Strength. Fortifications, (Berthier) or army. — Towers, or “palaces.” (Hebrew) (Jeremias xxxi. 23.) (Calmet) — He insists so much on the blessing of peace, because he foresaw that Jerusalem would one day neglect it, Luke xix. 42. Charity dwells in the towers or saints, (Berthier) and makes us resemble God. (St. Chrysostom, de Laud. S. Paul. iii.)”
