Works Augustine of Hippo (354-430) Enarrationes in psalmos (CCEL) Expositions on the Book of Psalms
Psalm XXI.

4.

"For Thou hast presented Him with the blessings of sweetness" (ver. 3). Because He had first quaffed the blessing of Thy sweetness, the gall of our sins did not hurt Him. "Diapsalma. Thou hast set a crown of precious stone on His Head." 1 At the beginning of His discoursing precious stones were brought, and compassed Him about; 2 His disciples, from whom the commencement of His preaching should be made.


  1. [Rev. xix. 12. Our author agrees with the Septuagint and the Vulgate here, as to "precious stone." Jerome gives coronam obrizam. Gr. obruzon.--C.] ↩

  2. Matt. v. 1. [Compare Mal. iii. 17.--C.] ↩
