Haydock's commentary
Lawgivers. Hebrew more, "a master." In Chaldean, "a sovereign." (Grotius) Septuagint, "what potentate is against him?" (Haydock)
What art thou, to dare thus to resist him? (Calmet)
St. Gregory (xxvii. 1.) explains this as a prediction of Christ, "our singular lawgiver." God is most able to punish transgressors, and willing to reward those who obey his laws. (Worthington)
