George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Ps 136:8 · Douay-Rheims
“O daughter of Babylon, miserable: blessed shall he be who shall repay thee thy payment which thou hast paid us.”
On this verse:
“Daughter. Citizens. — Miserable “plunderer,” (Symmachus) or “ruined,” (Aquila) or “which shalt be given up to plunder.” (Theodoret) — Cyrus reduced the city to a state of abjection, and it has since experienced other miseries, (Calmet) so that its situation is now unknown. (Haydock) — Isaias (xiii.) foretold this destruction. (Worthington)”
