Water And Souls

Ἐπηραν οἱ ποταμοὶ φωνὰς αὐτῶν, κ.τ.ἑ. Φύσεις λογικὰς ἁγίας ποταμοὺς ὀνομάζει, διὰ τὸ ῥεῖν ἐκ τῆς καρδίας αὐτῶν ποταμοὺς ὕδατος Θαυμαστοὶ οἱ μετεωρισμοι τῆς θαλάσσης, κ.τ.ἑ Θαυμαστὴ γίνεται ψυχὴ ἀρθεῖσα μετάρσιος καὶ χωρισθεῖσα τῶν τοῦ βίου τούτου κυάτων. Ὠριγένης, Εἰς Ψαλμους, Ψαλμος ϟΒ' Source: Migne PG 12.1553a-b

The rivers lifted up their voices...1 He gives the names of rivers to holy and rational natures because from their hearts flow the waters of eternal life. 2 Wonderous the elations of the sea...3 Wonderous is the soul lifted up into the heights and separated from the waves of this life. Origen, Selecta On the Psalms 92 1 Ps 92.3 2 cf Jn 4.14 3 Ps 92.4
