Holy Scripture

Psalms 55:4

A church father on this verse
“But this man being troubled and made sad was praying, his eye being disturbed as it were on account of anger. But the anger of a brother if it shall have been inveterate is then hatred. Anger doth trouble the eye, hatred doth quench it: anger is a straw, hatred is a beam. Sometimes thou hatest and chidest an angry man…”
Augustine of Hippo, 5th c. — Exposition on Psalm 55

2Have mercy upon me, O God; for man has trodden me down; All the day long he warring has afflicted me.

3Mine enemies have trodden me down all the day from the dawning of the day; For there are many warring against me.

— Psalms 55:4 —

5In God I will praise my words; All the day have I hoped in God; I will not fear what flesh shall do to me.

6All the day long they have abominated my words; All their devices are against me for evil.
