Holy Scripture

Psalms 34:20

A church father on this verse
“There should also be certain bones of the inner person in which the bond of union and harmony of spiritual powers is collected. Just as the bones by their own firmness protect the tenderness of the flesh, so also in the church there are some who through their own constancy are able to carry the infirmities of the weak…”
Basil of Caesarea, 4th c. — HOMILIES ON THE PSALMS 16:13 (PS 34)

18I will give thanks to thee even in a great congregation: In an abundant people I will praise thee.

19Let not them that are mine enemies without a cause rejoice against me; Who hate me for nothing, and wink with their eyes.

— Psalms 34:20 —

21And they opened wide their mouth upon me; They said, Aha, aha, our eyes have seen it.

22Thou hast seen it, O Lord: keep not silence: O Lord, withdraw not thyself from me.
