Excerpt from Commentary on the Psalms: Compiled From the Theological Works of Emanuel Swedenborg The entire part of Swedenborg's treatise Summary Ex position oi Prophets and Psalms which' relates to the Psalms is embodied in this commentary and appears under the indicative letters P. P. At the verses to which it belongs. This work throws new light upon many portions of the Book of Psalms. In the Doctrine concerning the Lord, N o. 37, Swedenborg writes about it: It may be well to mention that it has been granted to me to go through all the Prophets and the Psalms of David, and to examine each verse singly and to see what is there treated of. It has been seen that nothing else is treated of but the church established and to be established by the Lord, the Lord's advent, His combats, glorification, redemption and salvation, and heaven from Him; and at the same time their opposites.
