Verse 7
Let them be all confounded that adore graven things, and that glory in their idols.
Confundantur omnes qui adorant sculptilia, et qui gloriantur in simulacris suis.
According to the
first interpretation, the Prophet gathers from what has been said that all those who worship idols should justly be confounded, since it is clear that God alone is the true God, who governs and rules in heaven and on earth, and who, endowed with the fullness of power, wisdom and justice, governs all things. “Let them be all confounded that adore graven things,” (for) they are empty and illusory gods, that cannot help themselves or others; and let those men be even more confounded “that glory in their images,” that is, in their idols, because, deceived by error, they glory in that thing which of which they ought to most ashamed. According to the
second interpretation, through the form of a prayer there is predicted the greatest confusion that will cover all idolaters at the day of judgement : for then they will openly acknowledge the idols were nothing, and that the spirits dwelling in the idols were unclean, and with them they (the idolaters) will be condemned to eternal torments.
Totus tuus ego sum
Et omnia mea tua sunt;
Tecum semper tutus sum:
Ad Jesum per Mariam.
