Psalm 17:11
Douay-Rheims
They have cast me forth and now they have surrounded me: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth.
Augustine of Hippo
"Casting Me forth they have now compassed Me about" [Psalm 17:11]. Casting Me forth outside the city, they have now compassed Me about on the Cross. "Their eyes they have determined to turn down on the earth." The bent of their heart they have determined to turn down on these earthly things: deeming Him, who was slain, to endure a mighty evil, and themselves, that slew Him, none.
