What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Augustine of Hippo
"Nevertheless, God shall redeem my soul." Behold the voice of one hoping in the future: "Nevertheless, God shall redeem my soul." Perhaps it is the voice of one still wishing to be relieved from oppression. Some one is in prison, he saith, "God shall redeem my soul:" some one is in bond, "God shall redeem my soul:" some one is suffering peril by sea, is being tossed by waves and raging tempests, what saith he? "God shall redeem my soul." They would be delivered for the sake of this life. Not such is the voice of this man. …
Thomas Aquinas
"Nevertheless, he shall redeem my soul"; as if to say: the wicked have those things; but I shall be freed from them. And by what? Through the shedding of the blood of Christ. "He shall redeem from the hand of Hell," that is, from the hand of the Devil, under whom men were before the coming of Christ. Hos. 13: "From death I will redeem them." "When he shall receive me," that is, when he shall receive my soul. Heb. 2: "Nowhere does he take hold of Angels, but of the seed of Abraham."
