What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Augustine of Hippo
Who can explain, who expound that which is said to Him in another Psalm, "For my goods You need not"? He has said that He needs not from us any necessary thing. "If I shall be hungry, I will not tell you" [Psalm 50:12]. He that keeps Israel shall neither hunger nor thirst, nor be weary, nor fall asleep. But, lo! According to your carnality I speak: because you will suffer hunger when you have not eaten, perhaps you think even God does hunger that He may eat. …
Thomas Aquinas
"If I should be hungry, I would not tell you." He concludes through an impossibility: if I needed them, I would not tell you, that is, I would not ask them of you. Why? "Because the world is mine and its fullness." Ps. 23: "The earth is the Lord's," etc.
