George Haydock's Catholic Commentary
Psalms 118:143
Trouble. Such is the portion of the just, Romans v. 3. --- Mediation. Hebrew, "joy." (Symmachus) (Calmet) --- The sense is the same. Septuagint generally give the former meaning, as they render by seeking what moderns would restrain to signify observing, ver. 145, &c. (Berthier)
