Haydock's commentary
Poor. Hebrew, "afflicted." This may refer to some of the captives, who were returning, (ver. 14.; Calmet) or to Jesus Christ, (St. Augustine) to whom St. Paul applies ver. 26, 28., and whose redemption was prefigured by the former event. (Calmet)
David might have both in view. (Haydock)
Yet most believe that the psalm was written by Daniel, or Jeremias, &c. (Calmet), It may have two literal senses, like many others. (Berthier)
