Verse 26
Psa 22:26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.
Ver. 26. The meek shall eat and be satisfied ] They shall be well filled at my peace offering feast, saith David; at my holy supper, saith Christ; and in me shall have the full fruition of all good things; as at a feast of fat things full of marrow, of wines refined on the lees, Isaiah 25:6 Nec copiam huius saeculi concupiscent nec timebunt inopiam, saith Austin; Here they shall neither covet the wealth of this world nor fear the want of it.
They shall praise the Lord ] viz. At the eucharist, and after.
Your heart shall live for ever ] Apostrophe ad mansuetos emphatica. You meek of the earth and seekers of the Lord, who have eaten of Christ’s flesh that was given for the life of the world, John 6:51 , your heart shall live for ever; and if so, then in death itself. As Aristotle giveth the reason of the swan’s singing a little before his death, because generous blood goeth then to the heart, making it cheerful, and that thence cometh the melody.
