The Fathers on this verse
St Augustine Expositions on the Book of Psalms, Psalm XCIV
6. …“They have humbled Thy people, O Lord; and have troubled Thine heritage” ( ver. 5 ). “They have murdered the widow, and the fatherless: and slain the proselyte” ( ver. 6 ); that is, the traveller, the pilgrim: the comer from far, as the Psalmist calleth himself. Each of these expressions is too clear in meaning to make it worth while to dwell upon them.
