Thomas Aquinas, on Ps 49:11
Thomas Aquinas · 1225–1274
Ps 49:11 · Douay-Rheims
“I know all the fowls of the air: and with me is the beauty of the field.”
On this verse:
“With respect to the second he says, "I know all the birds of heaven," that is, these are subject to my providence. By these birds the holy Angels are understood, who are a likeness. With respect to the third he says, "And the beauty of the field is with me," that is, whatever is beautiful in them serves me. Or, "the beauty of the field is with me," because I am everywhere. And [it says] "is," because I always am, without past or future.”
