What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse.

  3. Quotes verse 15:26 Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm XLVI)

    "He runneth against God, upon the stiff neck of his shield." What is, "upon the stiff neck of his shield"?
