Holy Scripture

Psalms 118:21

A church father on this verse
“"I will confess unto You, O Lord, for You have heard me, and have become my salvation" [Psalm 118:21]. How often is that confession proved to be one of praise, that does not point out wounds to the physician, but gives thanks for the health it has received. But the Physician Himself is the Salvation.”
Augustine of Hippo, 5th c. — Exposition on Psalm 118
