Haydock's commentary
Day. Under the law of grace, Christians sing this and such like canticles. (Worthington)
Sion. This word is not in Hebrew, &c., though it be understood. (Calmet)
Other nations have their respective cities. All Christians admit this one. (Worthington)
The captives continue to return thanks. Yet the Holy Ghost speaks chiefly of the Church, and of the general resurrection. (Calmet)
Bulwark. Faith and good works. (Worthington)
