Fragments on the Psalms · §24 · Origen of Alexandria

Psalm 5:13 — you crowned us as with a weapon of good pleasure

“As with a weapon of good pleasure you crowned us” (Psalm 5:12).

A crown, he says, for us of the labors is grace, which — the end of these — as with a certain weapon fences us.

Greek

5.13 ̔Ως ο πλῳ εὐδοκίας ἐστεφάνωσας ἡμᾶς. Στέφανος, φησὶν, ἡμῖν τῶν πόνων χάρις, ἡ τὸ τέλος τούτῳ, καθάπερ ο πλῳ τινὶ, φράτ τουσα ἡμᾶς.
