What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
Cosmas Indicopleustes
And thou hast resuscitated my breath, and having been comforted by thee I lived. For thou didst rescue my soul that it might not perish, and thou hast cast behind me all my sins; meaning: For by comforting me Thou didst resuscitate my breath and I lived; having rallied my soul that was perishing, Thou hast cast my sins behind, and not suffered them to be spread out before me
Western Saints
Jerome
Behold, in peace is my bitterest bitterness. But you have saved my soul from perishing: you have cast all my sins behind your back. But you have delivered my soul, so that it would not perish, either in this present life or in the future. You have cast all my sins behind me, so that I may not behold them in sadness, but rather contemplate your mercy.
Thomas Aquinas
And then he sets out: behold in peace, as if to say: in the people having peace from the Assyrians, bitterness, hangs over me: laughter shall be mingled with sorrow (Prov 14:13). Second, he recalls his liberation from punishment: but you have delivered my soul, my life; and from guilt: you have cast all my sins behind your or my back, as though forgetting them: you have mercy upon all, Lord (Wis 11:24–25).
