Gathered And Uplifted


Εὐφρανθήσεται δίκαιος ἐν τῷ Κυρίῷ, καὶ ἐλπιεῖ ἐπ' αὐτὸν· καὶ ἐπαινεθήσονται πάντες οἱ εὐθεῖς τῇ καρδίᾳ. κ.τ.ἑ.

Ὅσοι συνάγονται μετὰ τοῦ Ἀβραὰμ, οὗτοι τὴν γνῶσιν ἔχουσι τοῦ Ἀβραὰμ. Τὸ γὰρ συνήχθησαν ἀντὶ τοῦ συναχθήσονται. Ἀ
πὸ γὰρ τῶν γεγονότων, φησὶν, οἱ πάντων τῶν ἐθνῶν ἄρχοντες ἄμα ἡμῖν συναχθέντες εἰς ὑμνῳδίαν Θεὸν αἰνέσουσι.

Τοῦ αὐτοῦ

 
Εἰ τις ἐστὶ κραταιὸς τῆς γῆς, τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐστιν ἐκεῖνος· ὁ γὰρ ἀσθενὴς οὐδέπω αὐτοῦ ἐστι. Κραταιὸς δὲ τῆς γῆς ὁ κατὰ τοῦ φρονήματος τῆς σαρκὸς κεκραταωμένος. Τῶν ἐν τῇ γῇ κραταιῶν εἰσὶ τινες τοῦ Θεοῦ, οἴτινες οὐχ ἁπλῶς ἐπῄρθησαν, ἀλλὰ σφόδρα· οὐ μέντοιγε ὑπερεπῄρθησαν.


Ὠριγένης, Εἰς Ψαλμους, Ψαλμος ΜϚ'

Source: Migne PG 12 1437
The rulers of the peoples are gathered with the God of Abraham, the strong of the earth are uplifted. 1

Those who are gathered with Abraham have the knowledge of Abraham. And that they have been gathered means that they shall be gathered. On account of which they are made, he says, princes of all the nations, one with us gathered for the singing of hymns to God.

On the Same

If someone is a strong one of the earth, that one is of God, for he who is weak is not His. A strong one of the earth is he who is fortified against the care of the flesh. And of those who are the strong ones of the earth, being of God, they are not simply lifted up, but excessively so, but not beyond measure.

Origen, On the Psalms, from Psalm 46

1 Ps 46.10
