What the Fathers say

Psalms 18:26

Eastern Fathers

Clement of Alexandria

By perverse, he means he will chastise sinners. For his natural uprightness … and his goodness toward those who believe obediently are immovable and unshakable.… Therefore, he treats them severely in the hope that perhaps he might curb their impulse toward death.

The Instructor Book 3 ↗

Western Saints

Augustine of Hippo

"And with the chosen You shall be chosen." [Psalm 18:26]. And by him whom You choose, You are chosen. "And with the froward You shall be froward." And with the froward Thou seemest froward: for they say, "The way of the Lord is not right:" [Ezekiel 18:25] and their way is not right.
