Haydock's commentary
Greek prefixes, "A Hymn of the Fathers." The author here imitates the third work of Solomon. (Haydock)
He had given rules for all virtues; and he now sets before us those who had put them in practice. (Calmet)
It was the custom to sound forth the praises of these fathers in the temple and synagogues, ver. 15. (Grotius)
