Psalms — Chapter 39
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 7
Sacrifice and oblation thou wouldst not: but ears thou hast pierced to me. No sacrifice of the old Testament sufficed to satisfie Gods iustice for the sinne of man. Christ by the eare of obedience performed the redemption of man by his death, as was determined from eternity. S. Paul for these (ears) faith (body). Christ by himself and by others preached the Ghospel of saluation.
Verse 10
I haue declared thy iustice in the great Church. In the greatest and wisest congregations of this world Christ concealeth not his mercie and truth. So himself professed before Annas, Caiphas, Pilate and their counsels. Saint Paul preached Christ at Athens and in many nations, and so the other Apostles.
