discourse, and the daughter, he says, of Tyre will come with gifts, and the rich of the people will entreat your face with gifts, for they do not worship her, but her head, which is Christ whom he now signifies. He named the Tyrians because they were especially enemies of the pious commonwealth. -All her glory, the king's daughter's, is from within. He says this, evangelizing that kings themselves and those in high station will worship the church, that is, the Lord in her. The "from within" signifies God within. For the world of the church is spiritual. A fringe also signifies the manifold virtues. All the glory of the king's daughter is from within, robed in tassels, embroidered, whether in deeds or in contemplations; and if anything is yoked to Christ, and if a virgin is wholly of Christ, the one in being completely bound to the Word, the other in not belonging to the world at all; for there is no yoked part, this is complete for the virgin. 45.2 Our God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in the tribulations that have found us. Fleeing fornication, let us take refuge in temperance; and fighting it we fight with righteousness. Again, fleeing injustice, let us take refuge in righteousness; if we take refuge in it, it is called refuge. But if we war with it, he says strength. 45.5 The streams of the river make glad the city of God. The gifts of the Holy Spirit; For rivers, he says, flow from his heart of living water. And he was speaking about the Spirit. 45.8 The Lord of hosts is with us. And the Lord promised in the holy apostles: Behold, I am with you. And: Where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there in the midst of them. Again, the Lord God of hosts is with us, so that we might not fall away from him at all. For if God is on our side, who is against us? He himself will fight for us, and we will be still. 46.5 He chose for us his inheritance, the beauty of Jacob, which he loved. The beauty of Jacob which he loved is the knowledge of God. 46.7,8 Sing praises to our God, sing praises. Sing praises to our king .... sing praises with understanding. The righteous man blesses the Lord at all times; but the sinner, confessing at that time, blesses God, whenever some good thing from God is set before him. 47.3 Well-rooted with the joy of all the earth; the mountains of Sion, the sides of the north. Christ, well-rooted with the joy of all the earth. And his root is God the Word, who is in him. -Formerly Paul was a side of the north, from which all evils upon the earth were kindled; but now he has become a mountain of Sion, having in himself Christ speaking, who came out of Sion, and turned away ungodliness from Jacob. -Jerusalem lies in the south, but the nations in the north; since the Jews were proud, as if they alone inhabited Sion, the word shows that its mountains are the foundation of Sion; it is the branch of the north, which branch is signified by the sides; for instead of saying the branch of the north, it has said the side; it shows, that is, that Sion is the nations, who will receive the gospel. 47.8 With a violent wind you will break the ships 47.8 of Tharsis. By ships of Tharsis, as if with many threads, he compares the kings bearing much; and he breaks the ships with a violent wind by which he shattered certain spiritual powers, by which he turns away enemies. 48.1 For the end, a psalm for the sons of Korah. The inscription can also be referred to the victory of each of those who are victorious in the contest. 48.2,3 Hear these things, all nations; give ear, all you who inhabit the world; both the earth-born, and the sons of men, together rich and poor. For there are three pairs of those who are called, in which the whole race of men is contained: nations and those who inhabit the world, earth-born and the sons of men, rich and poor. -The first, nations, which are those who inhabit the world, those who are strangers to the faith, through the nations. Then after these, the earth-born, who
