George Haydock's Catholic Commentary

Psalms 145:4

Forth. From the body, which shall be consigned to the earth from which it was taken, Ecclesiastes xii. 7. --- And he. Man, (Calmet) or each of the princes, (Haydock) with respect to the body. (Worthington) --- It does not refer to the spirit, which in Hebrew is feminine. (Calmet) --- It is the want of faith, which causes people to confide in great ones, rather than in Providence. (St. Augustine) --- Thoughts. Projects of ambition, &c. (Calmet)
