Holy Scripture

Psalms 30:5

A church father on this verse
“In the same way that wrath arises from the indignation of God, so even life is generated from his will. If "life" indicates knowledge, … then wrath denotes lack of knowledge. Death is a turning from life. Wrath, then, indicates death, a deprivation of contemplation.”
Evagrius Ponticus, 4th c. — NOTES ON THE PSALMS 29[30].6

3Incline thine ear to me; Make haste to rescue me: Be thou to me for a protecting God, And for a house of refuge to save me.

4For thou art my strength and my refuge; And thou shalt guide me for thy name’s sake, and maintain me.

— Psalms 30:5 —

6Into thy hands I will commit my spirit: Thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.

7Thou hast hated them that idly persist in vanities: But I have hoped in the Lord.
