THE HOLY BIBLE Douay-Rheims

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

84:5 In his heart he hath disposed to ascend by steps, etc: Ascensiones in corde suo disposuit. As by steps men ascended to the temple of God situated on a hill; so the good Christian ascends towards the eternal temple by certain steps of virtue disposed or ordered within the heart: and this whilst he lives as yet in the body, in this vale of tears, the place which man hath set: that is, which he hath brought himself to: being cast out of paradise for his sin.
