Haydock's commentary
Sad. Even if he fall into sin, he will not lose all hope. (Calmet)
The accidents accompanying this life will not overwhelm him. (St. Chrysostom)
Hebrew, "no evil shall befall the just." If he be afflicted here, he will be amply rewarded hereafter. Septuagint, "the just will not be pleased with any injustice."
