Psalms 70:7

Wonder. My exaltation, (Calmet) and present misery, (Worthington; Menochius) fill all with astonishment. (Haydock) (Isaias viii. 18., and xi. 10.) --- God often made his prophets bear about the signs of his vengeance on others, Isaias xix. 20. (Calmet) --- Christ was a sign of contradiction, which shall be contradicted, Luke ii. 34. (Haydock) --- He was looked upon as a prodigy. (Eusebius; St. Augustine) --- Helper. He gives all the glory to God. (Calmet) --- None can persevere without his grace. (Worthington)
