Haydock's commentary
Edom, (Idumææ.) (Haydock)
Several copies read Judææ; which agrees with the Hebrew, &c. The Idumeans, after the captivity, occupied those deserts (Calmet) of Ziph, Haret, &c., (Worthington) where David had screened himself from the fury of Saul. This psalm may express his sentiments, (Theodoret; Muis) or those of the captives, returning home, (Calmet) or it may agree with all those, who thirst after their heavenly country. (Berthier)
St. Jerome explains it of the coming of Christ, and it was used in the morning service. (St. Chrysostom) (Psalm cxl.) (Calmet)
Catholics, who are imprisoned for their faith, and cannot approach the tabernacle, may here find comfort. (Worthington)
