Psalms — Chapter 28
These annotations are from the original 1609 Douay Old Testament, the first complete English Catholic Bible translation, produced by English scholars in exile at the English College of Douai. The archaic spelling is preserved.
This content was digitized from the original 1609 Douay (Old Testament) and 1582 Rheims (New Testament) print editions by OCR. The OCR process sometimes confused print page numbers with verse numbers, and may have assigned annotations to the wrong chapter. Chapter and verse labels on this page reflect the OCR output from the original print pagination and may not correspond to canonical Scripture chapter/verse numbers. For canonical reference, consult a standard Douay-Rheims edition. The annotation texts themselves are authentic 1609/1582 Douay-Rheims content.
Verse 1
The consecration of the tabernacle. The Septuagint Interpreters testifie by adding this title that King Dauid made this Psalme when the Arke of God was brought into the tabernacle which he had pitched for it in Sion. Herein he saw by propheticall spirit and vttereth other farre greater mysteries and more excellent benefits brought into the world by Christ and preached by him and his Apostles. Bring to our Lord glory and honour: bring to our Lord glory vnto his name: adore ye our Lord in his holy court, that is, in his holy Catholike Church.
