| (Vers. 7.) We will enter into his tabernacles, we will worship in the place where his feet have stood. Those who enter to inhabit are themselves entered to be inhabited; and these are in the house of God who are the house of God, so that truly in the kingdom of God it can be said to them, "The Kingdom of God is within you" (Luke 17:21). Therefore, these worship in the place where the feet stood, either of the house itself remaining in the Lord, or of the Lord Himself, who is the inhabitant of the persevering house. However, just as there is no place for worship except in the Catholic Church, so "No one can say 'Jesus is Lord' except in the Holy Spirit" (1 Cor. 12:3). (Vers. 8.) Arise, O Lord, into your rest, you and the ark of your holiness. The Church, that is, the body of Christ, says to its head, "You have slept through the turmoil of the cross; arise into the rest of eternity, you and the ark of your holiness;" so that the glory of the resurrection may be fulfilled not only in the head of the members but also in the members of the head. Which members are the ark of sanctification to God, either through the truth of the incarnation or through the choice of grace; so that in the person of the Mediator of God and men, the man Christ Jesus (1 Tim. 2:5), it is understood both the altar of propitiation, and the ark of sacrifice, and the ark of doctrine. | (Vers. 7.) Intrabimus in tabernacula ejus, adorabimus in loco ubi steterunt pedes ejus. Qui intrant ut inhabitent, ipsi sunt qui ut inhabitentur intrantur; et hi sunt in domo Dei qui sunt domus Dei, ut vere in regno Dei sint quibus dici potest, Regnum Dei intra vos est (Luc. XVII, 21). Adorant ergo isti in loco ubi steterunt pedes, vel ipsius domus permanentes in Domino, vel ipsius Domini, qui domus perseverantis habitator est. Sicut autem non est locus adorandi, nisi in Ecclesia catholica, ita Nemo potest dicere Dominum Jesum Christum, nisi in Spiritu sancto (I Cor. XII, 3). (Vers. 8.) Exsurge, Domine, in requiem tuam, tu et arca sanctificationis tuae. Ecclesia, id est, corpus Christi, capiti suo dicit, Dormisti per conturbationem crucis; surge in requiem aeternitatis, tu et arca sanctificationis tuae; ut gloria resurrectionis non solum in capite membrorum, sed etiam in membris capitis impleatur. Quae membra arca sunt sanctificationis Deo, sive per incarnationis veritatem, sive per gratiae electionem; ut in persona Mediatoris Dei et hominum hominis Christi Jesu (I Tim. II, 5) intelligatur, et altare propitiationis, et arca sacrificii, et arca doctrinae. |
