Bellarmine on Psalm 109 : Title and theme

Title and subject matter

Titulus et argumentum


A Psalm of David

Psalmus David.





This Psalm is very famous, both for the greatness of its mysteries and for the obscurity of its wording. But although the unseeing and confused Jews have invented much gossip about it, yet among the Christians there is no doubt that this Psalm is to be understood as being about Christ’s reign and priesthood, as the Holy Spirit makes clear in many places of Scripture: Matth. xxii, Acts ii, I Corinth, xv, Hebrews i, v, vii & x.

Totus tuus ego sum
Et omnia mea tua sunt;
Tecum semper tutus sum:
Ad Jesum per Mariam.
