De qué trata
El comentario de Agustín a los ciento cincuenta salmos, en la traducción inglesa de la serie Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers.
Contexto e historia
No es un libro escrito de un tirón: son sermones predicados y dictados a lo largo de casi treinta años, y por eso el tono cambia mucho de un salmo a otro —los hay hablados a una asamblea y los hay trabajados en la mesa. La división en volúmenes es de la serie del siglo XIX, no de Agustín, y quien cite debería decir de qué salmo habla antes que de qué página.

prophecies which the Jews had voluntarily appropriated by rejecting the Son of David. They were types of what had been fulfilled in their rejected Messiah. The Church received the Psalter from the temple and the synagogue,1 and adopted it into liturgic use, " with hymns and spiritual songs," all magnifying the crucified and glorified Christ. With the fulfilment of prophecy by the destruction of the Temple and the dispersion of the Jews, everything pertaining to the law was sloughed from its ripened stalk ; and the Psalter blossomed with the consummate flowers and fruitage which were its deeper intent, and which had waited so long to be disclosed. The true David had come, and little thought of the typical David was to be entertained : the true Israel was to be seen everywhere, and the dead images of legal rites and symbols were to be interpreted only by the Gospel. To bring out its hidden meanings, the reading and chanting of the Psalter received the accentuation of antiphons and doxologies, and constantly elevated the worshippers into the newness of the spirit out of the oldness of the letter. Thus the whole book breathed a sweetness unknown to the Hebrews, but for which kings and prophets had patiently waited. The name of Jesus disclosed itself in every reference to salvation, and perfumed these sacred odes with a flavour that could come only from " the Root and the Offspring of David."
