Thomas Aquinas, on Ps 13:7
Thomas Aquinas · 1225–1274
Ps 13:7 · Douay-Rheims
“Who shall give out of Sion the salvation of Israel? when the Lord shall have turned away the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice and Israel shall be glad.”
On this verse:
“All the ancients expected this. Gen. 49: "The scepter shall not be taken from Judah," etc. But this was expected from Zion, that is, from the Jews: Jn. 4: "Salvation is from the Jews." But when? The answer: we shall have this "when the Lord shall have turned away the captivity of his people," who are in the captivity of sin and the prison of Hell: Is. 49: "Indeed, the captive shall be taken from the strong, and what was seized by the mighty shall be rescued." "And then let Jacob be glad," that is, the people of God inwardly; "and let Israel rejoice" outwardly.”
