Athanasius of Alexandria, on Ps 16:7

“Shew forth thy wonderful mercies; thou who savest them that trust in thee.”

“He teaches us that even if we are virtuous, we should trust not in ourselves but in God, and that we should pray to him that like the pupil of the eye he protect the mind—our soul's eye—from evil of the opposing powers.”
