Homilies on Psalm 37, Homilia I

Origen of Alexandria · c. 240–245 · PG 12 (Migne) — Rufinus Latin · Original English Translation

Lord, not in your fury — rebuke vs wrath§1

1O Lord, rebuke me not in your anger. Verbal rebuke is lighter; refuse the teacher’s yoke and God’s wrath chastises more heavily.

Latin · §1

Domine ne in furore tuo arguas me. Reprehensio verbo fit; qui iugo praeceptoris non subditur ira Dei castigatur — castigatio reprehensione molestior.

My iniquities a heavy burden; come to me§2

2My iniquities have gone over my head; like a heavy burden. Christ answers: Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden. Glory to Christ. Amen.

Latin · §2

Sicut onus grave gravatae sunt super me. Venite ad me omnes qui laboratis et onerati estis. Gloria Christo. Amen.
