Psalms — Chapter 94
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 8
Harden not your hearts. Whatsoeuer God proposeth by preaching or inspiration to a sinner, it resteth first in the power of his free will to harden his hart and reiect all such good motions, and so he doth not only frustrate Gods grace, and hinder his owne iustification, but also increase his former sinnes. But by not resisting, when deliberating thereupon he could resist, he disposeth himselfe and cooperateth to first iustification. Therefore the Royal Prophet here admonisheth and earnestly exhorteth all men to doe this which God hath put in our power: not to harden our owne harts when we heare his voice, by resisting and reiecting his grace freely offered, without all merite of our part.
