be cut off from the meat, and there shall be no oxen in the stalls.“ He sees that nation which was to slay Christ about to lose the abundance of spiritual supplies, which, in prophetic fashion, he has set forth by the figure of earthly plenty. And because that nation was to suffer such wrath of God, because, being ignorant of the righteousness of God, it wished to establish its own, he immediately says, ’‘Yet will I rejoice in the Lord; I will joy in God my salvation. The Lord God is my strength, and He will set my feet in completion; He will place me above the heights, that I may conquer in His song,“ to wit, in that song of which something similar is said in the psalm, ’‘He set my feet upon a rock, and directed my goings, and put in my mouth a new song, a hymn to our God.“ He therefore conquers in the song of the Lord, who takes pleasure in His praise, not in his own; that ’‘He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.“ But some copies have, ’‘I will joy in God my Jesus,“ which seems to me better than the version of those who, wishing to put it in Latin, have not set down that very name which for us it is dearer and sweeter to name.
