The Fathers on this verse
St Augustine Expositions on the Book of Psalms, Psalm CXLIX
10. “That they may bind their kings in fetters, and their nobles in bonds of iron” ( ver. 8 ). “To execute upon them the judgment written” ( ver. 9 ). The kings of the Gentiles are to be bound in fetters, “and their nobles in fetters,” and that “of iron.”…For these verses which we are beginning to explain are obscure. For for this purpose God willed to set down some of His verses obscurely, not that anything new should be dug out of them, but that what was already well known, might be made new by being obscurely set forth. We know that kings have been made Christians; we know that the nobles of the Gentiles have been made Christians. They are being made so at this day; they have been, they shall be; the “swords twice sharpened” are not idle in the hands of the saints. …
