Psalms 128:6

PSALM CXXVIII. (S\'c6PE EXPUGNAVERUNT.)

The Church of God is invincible: her persecutors come to nothing.

Houses. Which were flat, so that grass might grow, but the heat of the climate would not suffer it to come to perfection. --- Up. (St. Jerome) --- Chaldean, "flourish," as some copies of the Septuagint read. Yet Hammond, &c., declare for our version. The precise import of the Hebrew is not known. The same comparison occurs, (4 Kings xix. 26.; Calmet) and Plautus says, Qualis solstitialis herba paulisper fui, &c. (Pseud. i.) (Haydock)
