Man And The Sparrow

Ἐπὶ τῷ Κυρίῳ πέποιθα· πῶς ἐρεῖτε τῇ ψυχῇ μου· Μεταναστεύου ἐπὶ τὰ ὅρη ὡς στρουθίον; Τελείου φωνὴ, καὶ κατὰ τὸν Ἀπόστολον εἰπεῖν δυναμένου, Τὶς ἡμᾶς χωρίσει ἀπὸ τῆς ἀγάπης τοῦ Θεοῦ; Οὐ κατὰ τὸν ἀτελῆ τὸν φυγῇ μεταναστεύοντα τόπον ἐκ τόπου, καὶ περιφεύγοντα τοὺς διώκοντας. Καθὰ δὴ στρουθίον τοὺς θηρεύοντας, ὁς κἂν διαφύγοι, λέγοι ἄν Ἡ ψυχὴ ἡμῶν ὡς στρουθίον ἐῥῥύσθη ἐκ τῆς παγίδος τῶν θηρευόντων.  Εὐσέβιος ὁ Καισάρειος, Ὑπομνηματα Ἐις Τους ψαλμους, ψαλμος Ι'

In the Lord I trust; how do you say to my soul, fly off to the mountains like a sparrow? 1 This is the voice of the perfect man, who according to the Apostle is able to say, 'Who shall separate us from the love of God?' 2 His is not the manner of the imperfect man who flies from place to place fleeing  pursuers. And indeed like a sparrow escaping from hunters, he who does flee, may say, 'My soul has been seized like a sparrow from the trap of the hunters.' 3 Eusebius of Caesarea, Commentary on the Psalms, from Psalm 10  1 Ps 10.1 2 Rom 8.35 3 Ps 123.7
