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

Psalm XLVI. 1


  1. Lat. XLV. [In his exordium the Saint recurs to his favourite idea as follows: "Korah is interpreted Baldness,' and that our Lord, since in the place of the Bald skull' [Matt. xxvii. 33] He was crucified, hath drawn unto Him many; like that corn of wheat, which except it die, should abide alone; and that those who are drawn unto Him are called sons of Korah [John xii. 24, 32]. Thus much in the mystery. There were indeed some sons of Korah at the time when this was first sung [1 Chron. xxvi. 1], but to us ought the Spirit to give life, not the letter to be a veil" [2 Cor. iii. 6.]--C.] ↩
