Holy Scripture

Psalms 79:9

A church father on this verse
“Help us, O God our Savior. In the Hebrew it has "Help us, O God our Jesus." For wherever there is "Savior," there the Hebrew has "Jesus." Thus Gabriel, when he came to Mary, said, "And you shall call him Jesus: for he shall save his people." Help us, O God our Jesus. See what he says: "help." He who says "help" is him…”
Jerome, 5th c. — Homily 12, on Psalm 78

7Thou hast made us a strife to our neighbors; And our enemies have mocked at us.

8Turn us, O Lord God of hosts, And cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. Pause.

10Thou madest a way before it, And didst cause its roots to strike, and the land was filled with it.

11Its shadow covered the mountains, And its shoots equaled the goodly cedars.
