| Psalms 113:17 | The house of Israel hath hoped in the Lord: he is their helper, and their protector. Baruch 2:17. | [or 25.] The dead. People who are thus affected, give no praise to God, when they die, but descend into hell. (Worthington) --- Criminals are therefore said to be dead, while the saints only sleep. (St. Chrysostom) --- Hell. Hebrew, "silence," or the tomb, (Berthier) where none can sound forth God's praises, (Haydock) though the soul in a state of separation may adore him. (Berthier) See Psalm 6:6., and 29:10. |
