Haydock's commentary
Understanding. See Psalm xxxi. (Menochius)
Core, who composed, (Tirinus) or sung (Menochius) most of the psalms in this second part. (Tirinus)
Pieces of a joyful nature were generally assigned to them, according to the Jews and St. Jerome, Psalm lxxxiv. (Menochius)
They were descendants of the famous schismatic, the miraculous preservation of whose innocent children teaches us, that the good will not be punished with the guilty, and that we must be raised above this earth, lest hell devour us, Numbers xvi. 31., and xxvi. 10. (Worthington)
The sentiments of the captives, (Calmet) and of every sincere Christian, are here expressed. (St. Augustine)
David may have been the author, (Calmet) as it is generally believed. (Berthier)
Where a note speaks of the Jewish people, the Church teaches that the Passion cannot be charged against all the Jews then living, nor against the Jews of today, and that all sinners were its authors (CCC 597, 598).
