Holy Scripture

Psalms 108:11

A church father on this verse
“"You who have cast us off." Was it not you, O God, who have cast us off? He did not say, "Who cast us off," but "Who once cast us off." "And will you not go out, O God, in our powers?" These things are to be read interrogatively: "And will you not go out, O God, in our powers?" You who suffered for us, why do you not…”
Jerome, 5th c. — Homily 34, on Psalm 107
