Psalm 149:8
Douay-Rheims
To bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron.
George Leo Haydock
Iron. These poetical expressions denote victory. The Machabees made great conquests, and the Jews expect greater under the Messias. But this has been verified in the conversion of nations to Christ, Isaias xlix. 23., and lx. 14. (Calmet) — The victories of the Machabees were of short duration. (Berthier)
