Haydock's commentary
Save me. The king praying for all. (Menochius)
St. Augustine reads, me, (Calmet) though the Vulgate does not here express it. (Haydock)
Hebrew, "save thy right hand," the people, or man of thy, &c., Psalm lxxix. 18. (Calmet)
Hear me. Hebrew, "him." But the margin has, me. (Haydock)
