808:1
V ers. 16. Deus mollivit cor meum et Omnipotens conturbavit me. 51. Timor hic donum Dei est. — Ex divino munere cor justi c mol(??)ri dicitur, quia superni judicii timore penetratur. Molle est enim quod penetrari potest, durum quod penetrari non potest. Unde per Salomo- nem dicitur: Beatus homo qui semper est pavidus, qui vero mentis est durae corruet in malum (Prov. xxviii, 14). Virtutem ergo suae formidinis non sibi, sed au- ctori tribuit, qui ait: Deus mollivit cor meum, et Omnipotens conturbavit me.
Verse 16. God has softened my heart, and the Almighty has troubled me. 51. This fear is a gift of God. — From the divine gift the heart of the righteous is said to be softened, because it is penetrated by fear of the supernal judgment. For that is soft which can be penetrated, that hard which cannot be penetrated. Whence through Solomon it is said: Blessed is the man who is always fearful, but he who is of a hard mind shall fall into evil (Prov. 28:14). The virtue of his own dread, therefore, he attributes not to himself but to its Author, who says: God has softened my heart, and the Almighty has troubled me.
第十六節。「神使我的心軟弱，全能者使我驚惶。」五十一、這懼怕乃是神的恩賜。——義人的心被稱為因神的恩賜而軟化，因它被那至上審判的懼怕所穿透。因為那可被穿透的就是軟的，那不可被穿透的就是硬的。因此藉所羅門說：「常存敬畏的，便為有福；心存剛硬的，必陷在禍患裡」（箴二八14）。所以他把自己敬畏之德不歸於自己，乃歸於那作者，說：「神使我的心軟弱，全能者使我驚惶。」
808:2
Non autem secura, sed perturbata sunt corda bonorum, quia dum futuri examinis pondus considerant, quietem hic habere non appetunt, securitatem suam districtionis intimae consideratione perturbant. Qui tamen inter ipsa ti- moris supplicia saepe animum revocant ad dona, et ut semetipsos d consolatione refoveant, inter hoc quod metuunt reducunt oculum e ·ad dona quae acceperunt, ut spes sublevet quem timor premit. Unde et sequitur:
The hearts of the good, however, are not free from care but troubled; for while they weigh the burden of the judgment to come, they do not seek to enjoy rest here, but disturb their own security by pondering that inward strictness. Yet amid these very torments of fear they often recall their minds to God's gifts, and, that they may revive themselves with consolation, in the midst of what they dread they turn their eye back to the gifts they have received, so that hope may lift up the one whom fear presses down. Whence it also follows:
然而，善人的心並非安然無憂，而是不安的；因為當他們思量將來審判的重量時，便不願在此享有安逸，反倒因思念那內在的嚴峻而攪擾自己的安穩。可是在這些恐懼的痛苦之中，他們卻常把心思召回到上主的恩賜上；為要以安慰重新振作自己，便在所畏懼之事的當中，把目光轉回所領受的恩賜，好叫盼望能扶起那被畏懼所壓迫的人。因此接著說：
