Holy Scripture

Psalms 68:23

A church father on this verse
“That your foot may be dipped in blood. Because his own foot was dipped in his own blood. "I have trodden the winepress alone, and of the nations there was no man with me." And again: "Who is this who ascends from Edom? his garments red from Bosor." Edom is interpreted "blood," Bosor "flesh": it signifies our Lord hims…”
Jerome, 5th c. — Homily 7, on Psalm 67

In context

21My soul has waited for reproach and misery; And I waited for one to grieve with me, but there was none; And for one to comfort me, but I found none.

22They gave me also gall for my food, And made me drink vinegar for my thirst.

— Psalms 68:23 —

24Let their eyes be darkened that they should not see; And bow down their back continually.

25Pour out thy wrath upon them, And let the fury of thine anger take hold on them.
