THE HOLY BIBLE Douay-Rheims

Notes on Book of Psalms (Author Bishop Richard Challoner (ed.))

55:15 Let death, etc: This, and such like imprecations which occur in the psalms, are delivered prophetically; that is, by way of foretelling the punishments which shall fall upon the wicked from divine justice, and approving the righteous ways of God: but not by way of ill will, or uncharitable curses, which the law of God disallows.
