promise brought these things. 99A Ps 70,19.20 He begins the hymn from the point where it was promised, immediately acting, loudly proclaiming the height of the wonders of God, that men, having been brought through many evils, attain good things in eternal life, having risen from the dead; which is indeed the main point of the divine hymns and most indicative of God, inasmuch as none of those who are said to be gods could compete. For God is the one who gives life to all things, in whom Christ is known, being the son of God, saying that he himself is the resurrection and the life and showing this by deed, so that, even if these things are said by Christ as a man to the Father, it is fitting that they also be said to him by men, as to the son and image of God; for he is the firstborn from the dead, having descended in the manner of a man, but having ascended by the power of God, being himself the author of the ascent, as he says to the Jews, in which the preeminence of his divinity is shown. 100α πς 70,21 Although you made your great power manifest by delivering the human nature to death, yet to that which was despaired of among men you gave the new and blessed life.

101a Ps 71,1.2 The glory of Christ after the passion is hymned. And Solomon is a type, and the peace of his kingdom and the protection of the righteous and the glory of wisdom and the honor from all men, but beyond the type is the fact that the days of the king endure until the consummation, and that his peace and his fruit become most manifest. For these things in no way fitted Solomon, who lived for a short time, and who had opponents, and who left no fruit from himself but one child, and he did not preserve the kingdom handed down to him; but of Christ is the perpetual and unshakable dominion and the most manifest fruit, those who have believed; and in him are more perfect also the other things that happened typically in the case of Solomon, which the account, proceeding through each one, will explain. O God, give your judgment to the king and your righteousness to the king's son, to judge your people in righteousness and your poor in judgment. The Lord Christ is both king and son of King David according to the flesh, and for this reason he rose from the royal family, that he might establish the paternal kingdom according to the prophecy of Isaiah and make it divine instead of human, and, what was not in a human kingdom, that he might apply the exactness of righteousness to his subjects and grant to the wronged that they not be wronged; for this was not observed even in the case of David himself; although he was most just and pleasing to God beyond others, yet he himself became the author of the injustice towards Uriah. For the case of Solomon was even a greater injustice, which the construction of idols extended into impiety; but thus is the king foretold through Isaiah and through Jeremiah, a just man sitting upon a throne established with mercy, judging and seeking judgment and hastening righteousness as Isaiah says, and understanding and doing judgment and righteousness as Jeremiah says. 102a Ps 71,5 And Symmachus translated: And they shall fear him as long as the sun; in harmony with what was said by Gabriel to the holy virgin: And the Lord will give him the throne of David his father, and he will reign over the house of Jacob for ever. 103A Ps 71,10.11 And to Jerusalem Isaiah also says these things: That the wealth of the sea and of nations and peoples will be transferred to you; and herds of camels will come, and the camels of Midian will cover you, and elephants from Sheba will come bearing gold, and they will bring frankincense and will preach the salvation of God. And through Haggai it is said: Yet once more I will shake the heaven and the earth and the sea and the dry land, and I will shake all the nations; and the choice things of all the nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory, says the Lord almighty. 104 Ps 71,16 It abounds

Ὁ θεός, τὸ κρίμα σου τῷ βασιλεῖ δὸς καὶ τὴν δικαιοσύνην σου τῷ υἱῷ τοῦ βασιλέως κρίνειν τὸν λαόν σου ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ καὶ τὸν πτωχόν σου ἐν κρίσει.
