Fragments on the Psalms · §90 · Origen of Alexandria
Psalm 20:9 — your hand found to enemies is falling out of sins
“Let your hand be found to all your enemies; let your right hand find all who hate you” (Psalm 21:8).
It is a benefaction to fall out of sins and wicked thoughts; for a wicked reasoning is a seed of sin.
Greek
20.9 Εὑρεθείη ἡ χείρ σου πᾶσιν τοῖς ἐχ
θροῖς σου, ἡ δεξιά σου ευ ροι πάντας τοὺς μισοῦντάς σε. Εὐεργεσία ἐστὶν ἁμαρτιῶν
ἐκπεσεῖν καὶ ἐννοιῶν πονηρῶν· σπέρμα γὰρ ἁμαρτίας λο γισμὸς πονηρός.
