Holy Scripture

Psalms 138:1

A church father on this verse
“I will confess to you, O Lord, with my whole heart. As the wounds are, so too is the poultice. For just as the body has various wounds, so too the soul has its passions and its wounds; and against sin we ought to perform a corresponding repentance. If someone confesses for all his sins, that man confesses to the Lord…”
Jerome, 5th c. — Homily 49, on Psalm 137
