Thomas Aquinas, on Ps 49:12
Thomas Aquinas · 1225–1274
Ps 49:12 · Douay-Rheims
“If I should be hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.”
On this verse:
“"If I should be hungry, I would not tell you." He concludes through an impossibility: if I needed them, I would not tell you, that is, I would not ask them of you. Why? "Because the world is mine and its fullness." Ps. 23: "The earth is the Lord's," etc.”
