What the Fathers say

Psalms 119:140

Western Saints

Augustine of Hippo

Then considering with himself with what a flame of love he burned for the commandments of God: "Fiery," says he, "is Your word exceedingly, and Your servant has loved it" [Psalm 119:140]. Justly jealous was he of the impenitent heart in His enemies, who had forgotten God's word; for he endeavoured to bring them unto that which he himself most ardently loved.
