Salmos 17
Eusebius of Caesarea · Comentário Patrístico (catena)
Salmos 17:1
We speak fully and clearly when we use words taken from divine Scripture.… The righteous person alone cleanses his tongue, lips and the voice itself from using more common words, as one acquainted with that verse: "You will give an account of every careless word on the day of judgment." The ears of God do not hear words offered from lying lips, but they receive any word offered from a cleansed tongue accustomed to meditating on divine words. — COMMENTARY ON PSALMS 17:1
Salmos 17:3
Who can with confidence say, "I am pure from sins"? Christ alone is truly and properly able to say these words.… When gold is tested by fire, it remains pure and shining. According to Isaiah, out of all people since the beginning of the age, Christ alone "did not sin, nor was there any deceit found in his mouth." — COMMENTARY ON PSALMS 17:3
Salmos 17:13
That sword will be the "word of God living and more active than any double edged sword," here in the place of a straight sword, which is entrusted to my spirit for driving out the enemies. — COMMENTARY ON PSALMS 17:13, 14
