Two soldiers — God’s armor and the devil’s
The wicked draw the sword and bend their bow. Picture two soldiers: God’s wears the breastplate of righteousness and helmet of salvation; the devil’s man wears injustice and ruin.
Latin
De eodem psalmo: peccatores tetenderunt arcum. Duo milites armati — miles Dei loricam iustitiae, miles diaboli loricam iniustitiae; galea salutis contra galeam perditionis.
