Psalm 130:1 Douay-Rheims

Lord, my heart is not exalted: nor are my eyes lofty. Neither have I walked in great matters, nor in wonderful things above me.

George Leo Haydock

1774–1849 Catholic

Of David, is not in Septuagint. But he probably composed this psalm to exculpate himself from the accusation of pride. (Berthier) — It may agree with Esther, Nehemias, &c., 2 Esdras v. 15. (Calmet) — David proposes his own humility to the imitation of others, without any evil intention. (Worthington) — Sometimes the saints may speak their own praises, as St. Paul, did, particularly when they are inspired. (Berthier) — Above me. This deportment is admirable in the great. (Calmet) — We must neither undertake nor pry into things above our ability. (Menochius)
