22:1 Locutus est autem David Domino verba carminis hujus in die qua liberavit eum Dominus de manu omnium inimicorum suorum, et de manu Saul.
*H And David spoke to the Lord the words of this canticle, in the day that the Lord delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul,
Ver. 1. Spoke, &c. By comparing this with the 17th Psalm, we may be convinced how much the Hebrew varies, particularly if we examine also the MSS. Kennicott specifies no less than 600 variations in this one canticle, and refutes the opinion of those who say that the 17th Psalm is a second edition, corrected by David's own hand, as the MSS. frequently shew the inaccuracies of the printed copies. He has collated them with Walton's Polyglott. The variations are not however all distinct from each other, sometimes twenty MSS. having the same various readings, and many of them relate to the letter v. See Diss. ii. p. 565. We shall give the explication in the order of the Psalms. The collation of parallel passages is of infinite advantage. Frequently (H.) the words differ so as to explain one another. — Saul. He is specified as the most dangerous. David, by divine inspiration, thanks God for his deliverance from all his enemies, both corporal and spiritual, enjoying peace of mind on account of his sins being forgiven, and all his opponents repressed. W. — This year, the thirty-seventh of David's reign, was free from any commotion. Yet the king seems to have given way to a little vanity, on account of the many valiant men whom God had collected in his service; (C. xxiii.) and hence he consented to the unfortunate resolution of numbering his subjects.

[III, Q. 60, Art. 5]
Whether Determinate Things Are Required for a Sacrament?
Objection 1: It seems that determinate things are not required for a sacrament. For sensible things are required in sacraments for the purpose of signification, as stated above (A. 4). But nothing hinders the same thing being signified by divers sensible things: thus in Holy Scripture God is signified metaphorically, sometimes by a stone (2 Kings 22:2; Zech. 3:9; 1 Cor. 10:4; Apoc. 4:3); sometimes by a lion (Isa. 31:4; Apoc. 5:5); sometimes by the sun (Isa. 60:19, 20; Mal. 4:2), or by something similar. Therefore it seems that divers things can be suitable to the same sacrament. Therefore determinate things are not required for the sacraments.
Obj. 2: Further, the health of the soul is more necessary than that of the body. But in bodily medicines, which are ordained to the health of the body, one thing can be substituted for another which happens to be wanting. Therefore much more in the sacraments, which are spiritual remedies ordained to the health of the soul, can one thing be substituted for another when this happens to be lacking.
Obj. 3: Further, it is not fitting that the salvation of men be restricted by the Divine Law: still less by the Law of Christ, Who came to save all. But in the state of the Law of nature determinate things were not required in the sacraments, but were put to that use through a vow, as appears from Gen. 28, where Jacob vowed that he would offer to God tithes and peace-offerings. Therefore it seems that man should not have been restricted, especially under the New Law, to the use of any determinate thing in the sacraments.
_On the contrary,_ our Lord said (John 3:5): "Unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God."
_I answer that,_ In the use of the sacraments two things may be considered, namely, the worship of God, and the sanctification of man: the former of which pertains to man as referred to God, and the latter pertains to God in reference to man. Now it is not for anyone to determine that which is in the power of another, but only that which is in his own power. Since, therefore, the sanctification of man is in the power of God Who sanctifies, it is not for man to decide what things should be used for his sanctification, but this should be determined by Divine institution. Therefore in the sacraments of the New Law, by which man is sanctified according to 1 Cor. 6:11, "You are washed, you are sanctified," we must use those things which are determined by Divine institution.
Reply Obj. 1: Though the same thing can be signified by divers signs, yet to determine which sign must be used belongs to the signifier. Now it is God Who signifies spiritual things to us by means of the sensible things in the sacraments, and of similitudes in the Scriptures. And consequently, just as the Holy Ghost decides by what similitudes spiritual things are to be signified in certain passages of Scripture, so also must it be determined by Divine institution what things are to be employed for the purpose of signification in this or that sacrament.
Reply Obj. 2: Sensible things are endowed with natural powers conducive to the health of the body: and therefore if two of them have the same virtue, it matters not which we use. Yet they are ordained unto sanctification not through any power that they possess naturally, but only in virtue of the Divine institution. And therefore it was necessary that God should determine the sensible things to be employed in the sacraments.
Reply Obj. 3: As Augustine says (Contra Faust. xix), diverse sacraments suit different times; just as different times are signified by different parts of the verb, viz. present, past, and future. Consequently, just as under the state of the Law of nature man was moved by inward instinct and without any outward law, to worship God, so also the sensible things to be employed in the worship of God were determined by inward instinct. But later on it became necessary for a law to be given (to man) from without: both because the Law of nature had become obscured by man's sins; and in order to signify more expressly the grace of Christ, by which the human race is sanctified. And hence the need for those things to be determinate, of which men have to make use in the sacraments. Nor is the way of salvation narrowed thereby: because the things which need to be used in the sacraments, are either in everyone's possession or can be had with little trouble. _______________________

God is my strong one, in him will I trust: my shield, and the horn of my salvation: he lifteth me up, and is my refuge: my saviour, thou wilt deliver me from iniquity.

The earth shook and trembled, the foundations of the mountains were moved, and shaken, because he was angry with them.

22:13 Prae fulgore in conspectu ejus, succensi sunt carbones ignis.
*H By the brightness before him, the coals of fire were kindled.
Ver. 13. Kindled. The words abju abru seem to be wanting here, as they are found in Syr. Arab. and the Psalm. Kennicott would render this most striking image, "at the brightness of his presence his clouds removed; They kindled into coals of fire," &c. Diss. i.
Ἀπὸ τοῦ φέγγους ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ ἐξεκαύθησαν ἄνθρακες πυρός.

*H And the overflowings of the sea appeared, and the foundations of the world were laid open at the rebuke of the Lord, at the blast of the spirit of his wrath.
Ver. 16. Overflowings. Heb. "channels," the waters receding as at the Red Sea, and at the passage of the Jordan.
Καὶ ὤφθησαν ἀφέσεις θαλάσσης, καὶ ἀπεκαλύφθη θεμέλια τῆς οἰκουμένης ἐν τῇ ἐπιτιμήσει Κυρίου, ἀπὸ πνοῆς πνεύματος θυμοῦ αὐτοῦ.

He delivered me from my most mighty enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.

The Lord will reward me according to my justice: and according to the cleanness of my hands he will render to me.

22:22 Quia custodivi vias Domini, et non egi impie a Deo meo.
*H Because I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
Ver. 22. God. Perhaps David might have written this before his fall; or, if afterwards, his sincere repentance had restored him to his former state.
Ὅτι ἐφύλαξα ὁδοὺς Κυρίου, καὶ οὐκ ἠσέβησα ἀπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ μου.

And the Lord will recompense me according to my justice: and according to the cleanness of my hands in the sight of his eyes.
Καὶ ἀποδώσει μοι Κύριος κατὰ τὴν δικαιοσύνην μου, καὶ κατὰ τὴν καθαριότητα τῶν χειρῶν μου ἐνώπιον τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτοῦ.

*H With the holy one thou wilt be holy: and with the valiant perfect.
Ver. 26. Holy; treating all according to their deserts. H.

22:29 Quia tu lucerna mea, Domine, et tu, Domine, illuminabis tenebras meas.
*H For thou art my lamp O Lord: and thou, O Lord, wilt enlighten my darkness.
Ver. 29. Lamp. Heb. Thair, "thou wilt light" my lamp, seems deficient; as it is found in some MSS. Syr. Arab. Psalm xvii. &c. Kennicott.
Ὅτι σὺ ὁ λύχνος μου Κύριε, καὶ Κύριος ἐκλάμψει μοι τὸ σκότος μου.

Βοήσονται, καὶ οὐκ ἔστι βοηθὸς, πρὸς Κύριον, καὶ οὐκ ἐπήκουσεν αὐτῶν.
יִשְׁע֖וּ וְ/אֵ֣ין מֹשִׁ֑יעַ אֶל יְהוָ֖ה וְ/לֹ֥א עָנָֽ/ם
22:43 Delebo eos ut pulverem terrae ; quasi lutum platearum comminuam eos atque confringam.
I shall beat them as small as the dust of the earth: I shall crush them and spread them abroad like the mire of the streets.
Καὶ ἐλέανα αὐτοὺς ὡς χοῦν γῆς, ὡς πηλὸν ἐξόδων ἐλέπτυνα αὐτούς.

22:44 Salvabis me a contradictionibus populi mei ; custodies me in caput gentium : populus quem ignoro serviet mihi.
*H Thou wilt save me from the contradictions of my people: thou wilt keep me to be the head of the Gentiles: the people which I know not, shall serve me,
Ver. 44. Me. Though David conquered some Gentiles, and some were converted to the true faith under the Old Testament, yet the fulness of the Gentiles belongs to the Church of Christ, the perpetual stability of which is here foretold, v. 51. W.
Καὶ ῥύσῃ με ἐκ μάχης λαῶν, φυλάξεις με εἰς κεφαλὴν ἐθνῶν· λαὸς ὃν οὐκ ἔγνω ἐδούλευσάν μοι.

22:45 Filii alieni resistent mihi ; auditu auris obedient mihi.

22:46 Filii alieni defluxerunt, et contrahentur in angustiis suis.
The strangers are melted away, and shall be straitened in their distresses.
Υἱοὶ ἀλλότριοι ἀποῤῥιφήσονται, καὶ σφαλοῦσιν ἐκ τῶν συγκλεισμῶν αὐτῶν.

22:47 Vivit Dominus, et benedictus Deus meus, et exaltabitur Deus fortis salutis meae.

22:48 Deus qui das vindictas mihi, et dejicis populos sub me.
God who giveth me revenge, and bringest down people under me,
Ἰσχυρὸς Κύριος ὁ διδοὺς ἐκδικήσεις ἐμοὶ, παιδεύων λαοὺς ὑποκάτω μου,
הָ/אֵ֕ל הַ/נֹּתֵ֥ן נְקָמֹ֖ת לִ֑/י וּ/מוֹרִ֥יד עַמִּ֖ים תַּחְתֵּֽ/נִי
22:49 Qui educis me ab inimicis meis, et a resistentibus mihi elevas me : a viro iniquo liberabis me.
