Thomas Aquinas, on Ps 33:5
Thomas Aquinas · 1225–1274
Ps 33:5 · Douay-Rheims
“I sought the Lord, and he heard me; and he delivered me from all my troubles.”
On this verse:
“Then when he says, "Come to him and be enlightened, and your faces shall not be confounded," he invites others to obtain this benefit. And concerning this he does two things. First, he presents the invitation. Second, the effect of the invitation, at "And your faces shall not be confounded." He says therefore, "Come to him," through faith and charity: Jas. 4: "Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you." And therefore he adds, "And be enlightened." God is light, and he who approaches the light is enlightened: Is. 60: "Arise," through affection, "and be enlightened": Deut. 33: "He who draws near to his feet shall receive from his teaching." The effect of the invitation is that "your faces shall not be confounded" in refusal, because you will not suffer it, "for there is no confusion for those who hope in him," Dan. 3. Or, "your faces," that is, your thoughts, "shall not be confounded" through defect of truth.”
