Holy Scripture

Psalms 108:12

A church father on this verse
“"Give us help from tribulation." He did not say, "Give us help from delights," but "from tribulation." "To the Lord, when I was in tribulation, I cried out, and he heard me." He did not say, "when I was in delights I cried out," or "sleeping I cried out." Do you wish to be heard by the Lord? Be in tribulation: cry out…”
Jerome, 5th c. — Homily 34, on Psalm 107
