| Psalms 108:29
| Let them that detract me be clothed with shame: and let them be covered with the their confusion as with a double cloak.
| Cloak. Diplois, means the outward robe. Hebrew mehil. (Haydock) (Galatians 3:13.) --- "The cross of Jesus Christ shall be the glory of believers, and the confusion of infidels." (St. Leo, ser. xviii. de pas.) --- A salutary and inward shame may be of great advantage. (Haydock) --- Christ prays that his enemies may feel such a sorrow, and be converted. (St. Jerome) --- "He speaks not against, but in favour of, the Jews." (St. Augustine) (Calmet)
