Psalm 23:6 Douay-Rheims

This is the generation of them that seek him, of them that seek the face of the God of Jacob.

Francis Patrick Kenrick

1796–1863 Catholic

The text and St. Jerome have : " that seek thy face Jacob." Rosenmiiller thinks that Jacob is here put for his descendants, a race fearing God. The Syriac interpreter, as well as the Septuagint, under- stands by it, the God whom Jacob worshipped, and who made promises to him. Some modern critics prefer this meaning.
