Psalm 137:2 Douay-Rheims

I will worship towards thy holy temple, and I will give glory to thy name. For thy mercy, and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy holy name above all.

George Leo Haydock

1774–1849 Catholic

Towards. Thus the Jews acted, when they were at a distance from the temple, and in captivity. (Worthington) — Truth. Which thou hast displayed in my regard. — Holy. Septuagint may have perhaps written Logion , “Word,” agreeably to the Hebrew, though our version seems more easy. (Berthier) — St. Jerome (ad Sun.) explains it of Jesus Christ, the Word, whose name is so exalted, (Philippians ii. 9.; Calmet) as well as the divine majesty. (Worthington) — The holy doctor translates, “thou hast magnified thy word above every name.” But thy is joined with name in Hebrew. Others would supply, “thy name and thy word.” (Berthier) — Strength. Septuagint, &c., add, “thy.” (Calmet) — All virtue comes from God. (Haydock) — If my prayer be granted, as formerly, I shall advance in virtue. (St. Chrysostom) (Ephesians iii. 14.)
