ORDER OF THE CONTENTS OF THIS FIFTH VOLUME

PREFACE. 3-8 COLLECTION of the Psalms of blessed David, which St. John Chrysostom expounded and interpreted. 33-31 EXPOSITION on Psalm III.—The destruction of Absalom. 35-36 EXPOSITION on Psalm IV.—The true mode of prayer. The fruits of prayer; how exorable God is. The mode of praying; what is meant by dilation. Patience, how great a good it is; the mode of prayer. How harmful is the recollection of injuries. How the prophet leads men to the knowledge of God; the ways of the Lord for disseminating his doctrine. Why many who sin are not heard. What anger is permitted; for what purpose anger is useful; no one commands the impossible; the examination of conscience. What is the sacrifice of righteousness; all virtue under the name of righteousness; hope in God is immortal. The most savage enemies of the soul are unbridled impulses of the will; the condition of envy. 39-60 EXPOSITION on Psalm V.—The inheritance which has been left to us. What true prayer is, and how we ought to prepare ourselves for prayer. Firm joy from God. 60-71 EXPOSITION on Psalm VI.—Why those who commit the same sins do not suffer the same punishments. He exhorts to repentance. What is the eye of the soul; the eye to be plucked out, how; the fruits of repentance and tears. 71-80 EXPOSITION on Psalm VII.—The force of ambition proved by the example of Absalom. Four lessons in tribulations. The reconciliation of grace; formulas of prayer. The meekness of David. How enemies are to be placated. Whom God loves. That those who are not punished here for sin are to be mourned; why sinners do not pay the penalties of their sins here. What things are to be sought. Against the Anthropomorphites. He who invades another’s property destroys himself. Conversation with God increases virtue. A parenetic conclusion. 80-106 EXPOSITION on Psalm VIII.—Against the Anomoeans; the name of God is admirable with Christ. Why the Jews are more miserable after the death of Christ. How many years from the exodus from Egypt to Christ. Why the Jews are dispersed. After the sin, God diminished, but did not abrogate, the dominion given to man; why man’s dominion over beasts was diminished. What is the use of wild beasts. He attacks Paul of Samosata. The Father and the Son are equal in nature; the Son is distinguished from the Father by hypostasis. 106-121 EXPOSITION on Psalm IX.—Double confession; how great a thing it is to give thanks even for adversities. Fear is not of nature, but of the will. A description of natural things. An encomium of solitude. God is to be sought and explored; what the habitation of God is understood to be. On some of the preceding verses, noted again, having begun the exposition of those following, he demonstrates that poverty is more apt for virtue than riches. Ignorance is more grievous than phrenitis. The misery of the sinner, once the fear of God has been cast off; one must not flatter the sinner. A corrupt judge is worse than a thief. Evils from ill-gotten wealth. 121-140 EXPOSITION on Psalm X.—The formula for entering Christ’s struggle. A comparison of the sparrow with the rich man. 140-144 EXPOSITION on Psalm XI.—On the duplicity of the heart. We are not our own, but the Lord’s. The whole creation proclaims the power of the Lord. An exhortation to patience. 144-149 EXPOSITION on Psalm XII.—The enemy becomes stronger through our disasters. Thanksgiving before the benefit. 149-155 WARNING on the Exposition of Psalm XLI. 153-151 EXPOSITION on Psalm XLI.—The power of music; why the Psalms were invented; that one must sing with intelligence. Songs of banquets; he proves by a similarity that thanks must be rendered after meals. We can love God, even if we do not see him. Three things reconcile us to love; the beauty of God. The benefits of God toward us. 155-167 EXPOSITION on Psalm XLIII.—The fathers are moved with their duty; the utility of sacred histories. The extreme poverty of the rich. Day for life. What the shadow of death is. Why do you forget our poverty. The beauty of the body is mud; on fornicators; how far physical beauty is to be admired; why marriage is permitted. 167-182 EXPOSITION on Psalm XLIV.—Testimony of enemies is not at all suspect; eructation is prophecy; a prophet differs from a seer. Certain verses of this Psalm are referred to Christ; so that Christ was truly poor. The difference between a prophet and an evangelist. That Christ may be blessed. The terrible works of Christ. The efficacious force of the arrow of the word; the eternity of Christ. Many were called Christs; when Christ was anointed. The price of ivory among the ancients. Spiritual garments. The Church is both daughter and bride. Morals are expressed by cities; the excellence of virtue. The flower of virginity is the garment of the Church; the Church, once barren, is now the mother of innumerable children. 182-203 EXPOSITION on Psalm XLV.—All things are easy for God; the providence of God is compared to a river. Peace brought to the earth through Christ; fire, the wrath of God. 205-208 EXPOSITION on Psalm XLVI.—How sacred Scripture is to be received. Christ conquered the devil; benefits bestowed upon the Jews of old are compared with the benefits poured out upon Christians; the Anomoeans are refuted. Why Christ did not descend from the cross. The nations are the inheritance of Christ. The sound of the apostle’s trumpet. What it means for God to sit; to reign holily. 208-216 EXPOSITION on Psalm XLVII.—Justice coheres with God. 216-222 EXPOSITION on Psalm XLVIII.—The obscurity of Scripture invites the reader to inquiry. It is useful to distinguish things to be feared from things not to be feared; sin alone is terrible and to be feared. The prayers of the saints; the dignity of the soul; works are necessary. Death does not destroy substance; the common resurrection of all. The arrogance of sepulchers; virtue produces an immortal name; Peter the fisherman occupied Rome. Virtue alone produces a glorious memory; how glorious is the nature of man; how great is the dignity of the soul; man compared to brutes. What it means for the soul to perish; the punishment of the greedy. Virtue is free; vice is servile. Proud monuments are accusations of the dead. The glory of man is virtue. 222-240 EXPOSITION on Psalm XLIX.—The first advent of Christ was occult. How God is to be worshipped; why sacrifices were permitted to the Jews. What a sacrifice pleasing to God is. A comparison of present and future affliction. Concern for one’s neighbor must be had. How rebukes are to be made. The silence of God, his patience; what the custom of vices produces; God is honored by our right actions. 240-258 EXPOSITION on Psalm CVIII.—One must not rise up against the priests of God; who are called sons in the sacred scriptures. 258-261 EXPOSITION on Psalm CIX.—Why God is called one. Against Paul of Samosata and against the Arians. This verse, the rod of thy strength, etc., is explained anagogically concerning Christ; the cross of Christ is the rod. The principate of the Only-begotten; through God is the principate of Christ. Pilgrimages to holy places; the cross of the cross. These words, Before the morning star I have begotten thee, are said of the eternal generation of Christ; the diversity of operation and nature. The philosophy of Christ and his doctrine; against luxury; what makes a man slave or free most of all; how great a good is freedom from cares. 264-279 EXPOSITION on Psalm CX.—God especially requires thanksgiving from us. Death is useful; what is bad, what is good. The contemplation of creatures is useful. All the works of God ought to excite thanksgiving. God always performs miracles. Various kinds of precepts; the precepts of the new law do not abrogate the old; human laws are momentary and obscure; divine laws are clear and permanent. Where the fountain of wisdom may be found; the definition of wisdom; works are also necessary. What the praise of God is. 279-290 EXPOSITION on Psalm CXI.—The affinity of this Psalm with the preceding; fear of God alone is not sufficient for salvation. Alacrity is necessary in obeying the commandments of God. The commandments of God are not burdensome. The reward of virtue; a comparison of virtue and vice through opposites. The riches of the apostles. Earthly riches are uncertain; the power of alms. The greatest argument for the resurrection. How efficacious virtue is. The filth of vice; the splendor of virtue. 290-299 EXPOSITION on Psalm CXII.—What difficulty the praise of God has; that the name of the Lord is to be glorified by us. What it means for God to be magnified or blessed by us. Why God is said to dwell in the heavens. 299-304 EXPOSITION on Psalm CXIII.—How the sanctification of God is the Jews’; how Israel is his power. Miracles were not done rashly. God of Jacob, the Lord is called by the name of a servant. The salvation of men is a greater care to God than his own glory. The patience of God. The ruin of idols. A priest far surpasses a private individual; the providence and blessing of God upon Israel and the proselytes themselves, the old and new blessing. The goods of the New Testament have nothing of the earthly; how the good of virginity was introduced; the carnality of the Jews; the blessing of men. In what sense heaven is the habitation of God; God is the common [God] of all. The death of the just is sleep. 304-315 EXPOSITION on Psalm CXIV.—What things are truly conducive to us. Invocation of God frees from evils. May the soul be kept unharmed with its first things. God is the guardian of infants and children; security of life is not to be sought; death is liberation and rest; why life is laborious. How great a thing is Christian philosophy; pain comes not from death, but from an evil conscience. 315-319 EXPOSITION on Psalm CXV.—The best formula for teaching. The necessity of faith in promises; one must not rely on human reason in divine matters. The Spirit is the same author of both Testaments; grace is necessary for faith. Our virtue and salvation are not subject to necessity; Christians have greater need of faith than the Jews did of old. Matters of faith are not to be committed

787

to human reasons; faith is a sacred anchor. What is meant by "the excess," and why man is called a liar. How benefits are doubled; how the voice and the cup are to be understood in the following verse. The honor due to the sepulchers of the martyrs; there are good and bad bonds; a grateful heart is most pleasing to God. A

EXPOSITION on Psalm CXVI. 319-327

EXPOSITION on Psalm CXVII. The dignity of the priesthood. How many affections blind the eye of the mind. That the providence of God is to be contemplated and investigated; how much more merciful God is to men; why God permits affliction. A good hope in God; hope in man is dangerous; that we must hope in the Lord. The image of the resurrection; the profit of temptation and punishment. Thanksgiving is the greatest sacrifice; why prophecies are for the most part obscure; Christ is the cornerstone. To rejoice in good things is no small virtue. Thanks should be given to God even without benefits. 327-528 [sic]

EXPOSITION on Psalm CXIX. Whence the song of degrees is so called. The profit of affliction; affliction has the greatest excuse. How to avoid the treacherous; the punishment of wickedness. We are pilgrims in this life. The company of the wicked is most troublesome to the good; the present life seems long to the good, but short to the wicked. The chief cause of war and strife; be a sheep, and you will overcome the wolves; where humility is most to be shown. 338-341

EXPOSITION on Psalm CXX. God gave man a sublime face. The freedom of our will. What it means to give one's foot to commotion; the instability of worldly things. 341-347

EXPOSITION on Psalm CXXI. The deprivation of good things produces a sense of them which habitual enjoyment did not. Why it was permitted to sacrifice, pray, etc., only in Jerusalem; the usefulness of feasts and assemblies; in Jerusalem there was a double princedom, of priests and kings. Moral exhortation. 347-351

EXPOSITION on Psalm CXXII. We obtain salvation through mercy. 351-352

EXPOSITION on Psalm CXXIII. The Jews avoided idolatry for the sake of captivity. The usefulness of the alternation of prosperous and adverse things; anger is void of reason; how the perturbations of the mind may be healed. With what aids God has furnished us against the devil; how it happens that we are nevertheless overcome by him. 352-356

EXPOSITION on Psalm CXXIV. The peace of the saints. 356-359

EXPOSITION on Psalm CXXV. 360-362

EXPOSITION on Psalm CXXVI. 362-365

EXPOSITION on Psalm CXXVII. He who fears God is blessed. Many ways leading to heaven are explained; the number concludes with the praise of alms, the efficacy of which is illustrated by the example of Lazarus. "In all the days of thy life." How the promises of God are fulfilled. 365-371

EXPOSITION on Psalm CXXVIII. 371-372

EXPOSITION on Psalm CXXIX. The depth of prayers. Certain women obtain what theydesire by praying with tears; the Ister or Danube often freezes with ice. 373-377

EXPOSITION on Psalm CXXX. When it is allowed to boast. How much the arrogant and proud are to be fled. 377-379

EXPOSITION on Psalm CXXXI. The meekness of Moses. The promises of God await our action. 379-381

EXPOSITION on Psalm CXXXII. 381-385

EXPOSITION on Psalm CXXXIII. How great a sanctity the reception of the Eucharist requires; the body and blood of the Lord in the Eucharist; the night is not to be spent wholly in sleep. Prayers are to be sent up everywhere. 386-387

EXPOSITION on Psalm CXXXIV. The power of psalmody; the election of the Jewish people. The mixing of contrary elements in the world; the advantages of winds; how winds are in the storehouses. The providence of God belongs to all things. The vanity of idols; why a demon sits by idols. The differences of blessings. 387-399

EXPOSITION on Psalm CXXXV. God is perpetually merciful. The miracles of God are not of power alone, but also of kindness; the heaven was made for man; the use of elements. The divisions of the Red Sea; the obstinacy of the Egyptians; miracles are rare. He exalts the providence of God toward the Israelites from the exodus from Egypt to the occupation of the land of Canaan. The power of humility. 399-403

EXPOSITION on Psalm CXXXVI. The custom of the prophets. 403-407

EXPOSITION on Psalm CXXXVII. That we be heard by God is within us. God is present to the afflicted. The mercy of God is not given indiscriminately. 407-410

EXPOSITION on Psalm CXXXVIII. How the voice of the prophet is to be understood regarding God; what is meant by sitting and rising; God's foreknowledge. God's foreknowledge does not make a man good or evil. Darkness is affliction; night is calamities; the operation of elements is directed to the contrary by God, when he wills. The possessor cares for the thing possessed. Men of blood are to be fled; the wicked are to be avoided; the law is a hedge; the mutability of the Jews. The eternal way is the way of virtue. 411-419

EXPOSITION on Psalm CXXXIX. A wicked will makes a man worse than wild beasts; nothing is harmful to man except B sin; the vicious man is more depraved than a beast. The devil is absolutely evil; the evil man harms only himself. The wicked are not to be feared, but pitied; one must not insult wicked men; the company of the wicked is to be avoided. That the afflicted should take refuge in God. Meditation on vices is most evil; vice is a punishment to itself. The petulance of the tongue; why sin is compared to hunting. A reason is not to be demanded of God. 419-426

EXPOSITION on Psalm CXL. What is meant by a cry in the holy Scriptures; the cry of the heart. What prayer is worthy to be heard by God. One must not pray evil against enemies. Two altars in Jerusalem. The fragrance of prayer; the type of the censer; the purity of the tongue and hands; why evening sacrifice is so called; why hands are to be lifted in prayer. The custody of the tongue and mouth; the vicissitude of silence and speech. Especially because of the sacrifice of the body of the Lord, the tongue ought to be holy. The evil of untimely silence; one must condole with the afflicted. An account is to be rendered for an idle word. The heart is the source of both virtue and vice; free will; excuse in sins is most evil; confession is a solace for sin. The confession of sins most pleases God; the destructiveness of banquets and theaters; just reprovers are not to be turned away from. One must not rely on prayer alone, but also act. A sacred anchor is hope in God. 426-442

EXPOSITION on Psalm CXLI. Two advantages of affliction. The effect of affliction. Few are present to the calamitous. The devil stretches a snare even in the exercise of virtue. God never punishes sins worthily; confession is thanksgiving. The tolerance of affliction is meritorious. 442-446

EXPOSITION on Psalm CXLII. Conscience is an internal judge; in what matters the help of God is to be sought. The justice of God is mercy; how light is the punishment of the flood. The fruit of the confession of sins. Multiplicity of humility. The darkness of sins; why the poor are not heard by the worldly. The condition of those who are evil-conscious of themselves; the miserable condition of the wicked; the description of the avaricious; how useful is the memory of past things. There is no need of miracles now. The nature of sin is a pit; we must always look to God, and depend upon him. Equity and justice for mercy and compassion; prayer without action is useless. 446-457

EXPOSITION on Psalm CXLIII. Divine help is necessary for us for the war against demons; the war of the devil against men; that we may obtain the mercy of God; that to keep subjects in duty, the help of God is necessary. The presumption of heretics; that we have learned that God is; the substance of God is unknown to us. How God is said to descend and touch; what are the hands of God; who are the alien children. We ought to be of help to our neighbors; why God wishes to be praised by us; that our members may sing the praises of God. What prosperities are held in this world. 457-461

EXPOSITION on Psalm CXLIV. We eat the flesh and blood of Christ; the blessing is through the things themselves; why man was made; the benefits of God toward us. Against the Anomoeans. The whole of God praises his providence. Even pestiferous and noxious things belong to the providence of God. The goodness of God toward all; Cain’s punishment is from the kindness of God; the lightest kind of death is by water; that mute things may bless God. For what purpose are the vicissitudes of times. Afflictions are useful. 464-472

EXPOSITION on Psalm CXLV. The condition of the princes is the same as that of the common people. 472-475

EXPOSITION on Psalm CXLVI. It is proper to God to console the afflicted. The amplitude of providence; why the people of God is called peculiar. 475-478

EXPOSITION on Psalm CXLVII. The fertility of the earth is to be ascribed to the providence of God. The operation of nature is changed to the contrary. He punishes sinners even before the law. Natural law is implanted in all; the law of conscience. The opposition and increase of the Church. 478-481

EXPOSITION on Psalm CXLVIII. Against the Manichaeans. Various modes of praising; let inanimate creation praise God. The world has a maker, and was created; the stability of the world and the equality of the vicissitude of times; against the Manichaeans. What advantage serpents and scorpions bring. The necessity of magistrates. 481-493

EXPOSITION on Psalm CXLIX. In what thanksgiving consists. The psalter is moved from above. 493-495

EXPOSITION on Psalm CL. That our members may praise God; why musical instruments were permitted to the Jews; the praise of God is the sacrifice most pleasing to him. 495-497

WARNING regarding two Homilies on that text, "Fear not when a man shall be made rich."

The vanity of riches. Who is truly a man. Examples of the vicissitudes of human affairs. What are true riches; the character of flatterers; the praises of alms. Chrysostom as pastor. One sin is to be feared; Abraham’s hospitality. The poor are Christ. Abraham’s zeal for hospitality was great. External glory is to be despised; what is the true glory of man; what

(...) utility; the psalmody is doctrine. Against the Anomoeans and Arians. By comparing certain places of Isaiah and the Gospel, he introduces the divinity of Christ and brings forth the reason for the Trinity. 605-612

MONITION to the following Homily. 611-612

HOMILY on the said place of the Prophet, and on almsgiving. How useful is the reading of Holy Scripture; a comparison of human things with a shadow. What is the glory proper to man; he describes and refutes arrogance and luxury. Riches are fleeting. Since most things, both earthly and spiritual, belong to all in common, it is not fitting for men to be hostile to one another. 512-518

MONITION to the Homily on that text, Praise the Lord, O my soul. 517-518

HOMILY on the Great Week, and on that text, Praise the Lord, O my soul (Ps. 143:2), and on the prison keeper in the Acts. A legal rest during the time of Holy Week. The saints are present with us as we sing. How our inner selves can bless God. How great is the power of hymns. The Apostles did nothing for ostentation. The power of prayer is always great, but greater with fasting; how prayer is made pleasing. God is to be thanked even when He does not grant what is asked; the praises of prayer. 517-528

DUBIOUS SMALL WORKS. 527-538

MONITION to the following Homily.

ARGUMENT of the Psalms.

SERMON on that text, In tribulation thou hast enlarged me (Ps. IV). 539-544

MONITION to the Homily on Psalm VI. 543-544

HOMILY on Psalm VI. 543-550

MONITION to the Homily on Psalm XIII. 549-550

HOMILY on Psalm XIII. The fool hath said in his heart: There is no God. Conversion with the impious is aversion from God; it is graver to deny God by deeds than by words. The existence of God is proved; he refutes it by an argument from the lesser; who is understood by the "fool." The multitude of gods is atheism. It is absurd that men, participating in most things with one another, should act wickedly toward one another; he reckons the body and blood of Christ among the goods common to men. What it is for God to look down from heaven. Man was created upright by God. 549-558

MONITION to the following homily. 559-560

HOMILY on that prophetic text, Surely every man living is disquieted in vain (Ps. 38:7), and on almsgiving. 559-564

MONITION on the two following Homilies on Psalm L. 563-568

HOMILY I on the title of Psalm L, and on the repentance of David, and on that which occurred with Uriah. Prophets are painters of virtue and vice. All the Psalms were spoken by David, but not all are about him. The vices of the saints are changed into medicines. Quiet is the foster-sister of virtue. The beauty of the body is to be accounted as nothing before the beauty of the soul. Envy is the punishment of the envious. How great an evil sin is. The cleverness of Nathan in rebuking King David; Christ gives His flesh to us for food and His blood for drink. 565-575

HOMILY II on those things which remain from Psalm L, and on Repentance. Hope of salvation is the remedy for wounds. The mercy of God is the harbor for sinners. Examples of repentance in both Testaments; the watchfulness of the devil; one must not seek the reason when God acts. Since the power of God is so great, He cannot be unequal to the task of remitting sin in physical things. Sin, even when blotted out, is not to be committed to forgetfulness; tears are, as it were, sponges that blot out sins; the conscience is to be examined; how useful is the fear of hell. That thou mayest be justified in thy words, and mayest overcome when thou art judged. The operation of sin is not natural. What the advent of Christ is like. The Psalm is to be understood concerning the Jews captive in Babylon. 575-588

MONITION to the Homily on Psalm LI. 589-590

HOMILY on Psalm LI. Why David did not follow the order of the times. The slanderer destroys not only bodies, but also souls. 589-594

MONITION to the Homily on Psalm XCIV. 615-616

HOMILY on that text, Come, let us sing joyfully to the Lord (Ps. 94:1). 615-620

MONITION to the Homily on Psalm XCV. 619-620

HOMILY on that text, Sing to the Lord a new song, sing to the Lord, all the earth; and on almsgiving. Why God circumscribed His own people within the limits of one region; God accommodates Himself to our weakness. God [is attached] to the people, as a husband is joined to his wife. One sacrifice of grace; the various kinds of sacrifices. Some sins pertain to God, others to man. The power of almsgiving. There is also martyrdom of purpose; the virginity of purpose and the virginity of necessity. What is done by purpose is pleasing to God, not that which is done of necessity. 619-630

MONITION to the Homily on Psalm C. 629-630

HOMILY on Psalm C. Sacred songs make us spiritual; base songs corrupt. Innocence is a great virtue and the root of all virtues. A twofold kind of prevarication. How great an evil detraction is the cause of. Detraction is almost always false. The dignity of man. 629-636

HOMILY on Psalm CVII. The incarnation of Christ is the morning. 672-674

MONITION to the Homily on Psalm CXVIII. 675-676

HOMILY I on Psalm CXVIII. STATION I. Against the curling of hair. This life is a pilgrimage. The confidence of the saints. God chastises out of goodness. STATION II.
