What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Gregory the Dialogist
Let his confidence be rooted out of his tabernacle, and let death as a king trample on him. In this place by the title of 'death' we have denoted the enemy of the human race himself, who brought in death, who is set forth by a particular minister of his, of whom it is said to John, And his name was Death. …
Thomas Aquinas
The dead man is taken out of his house, and regarding this he says, "May trust be torn away violently from his tent," because he did not place his hope in God, but in the vulgar display and the glory of his house, of which he is deprived after death. Thrown out of his house, he is shut up in the tomb where he is totally exterminated in death. Respecting this he says, "and may destruction trample him like a king," because death like a king in the fullness of his power grinds him into dust.
