ClVg Ex ore infantium et lactentium perfecisti laudem propter inimicos tuos, ut destruas inimicum et ultorem.[fn]
(From ore infantium and lactentium perfecisti laudem propter inimicos tuos, as destruas inimicum and ultorem. )
8.3 Ex ore infantium. Ibid. Insipientium, quibus Apostolus lac dabat, quos signabant illi, qui Dominum laudabant, in quos hoc utitur Dominus testimonio. Ex his perfecit laudem, quia si soli perfecti essent in Ecclesia, non consuleretur humano generi; sicut nunc, cum et minimi nondum capaces cognitionis rerum spiritualium nutriuntur fide temporalis historiæ. Inimici, sunt omnes, qui dispensationi per Crucifixum factæ, contraria dicunt. Defensores videntur hæretici fidei, philosophi sapientiæ, cum tamen et illi fidem, et hi sapientiam veram impugnent. Lactentium, CASS. non ætate, sed ut Petrus, quasi modo geniti I Petr. 2., qui nondum escam, sed lac sumere possunt; et est, non solum a perfectis, sed et ab insipientibus prædicaris. Vel, infantes et lactentes dicit apostolos, qui fuerunt homines simplices et indocti; unde: Stulta mundi elegit Deus ut confundat fortia I Cor. 1.. Perfectior est laus. Vel, ex ore infantium et lactentium, id est, ex verbis puerorum Hebræorum perfecisti laudem, quæ videbatur pueriliter agi propter inimicos, ne videatur humana sapientia, sed divinitus data. Inimicos tuos. Paganos. Inimicum. Judæum, qui inimicus est Dei, dum Patrem solum defendit: quia qui non honorificat Filium, non honorificat Patrem, vel inimicus voto.

Defensores videntur hæretici of_faith, philosophi sapientiæ, when/with tamen and illi fidem, and hi wisdom veram impugnent. Lactentium, CASS. not/no ætate, but as Petrus, quasi modo geniti I Petr. 2., who nondum escam, but lac sumere possunt; and it_is, not/no solum from perfectis, but and away insipientibus prædicaris. Vel, infantes and lactentes dicit apostolos, who fuerunt homines simplices and indocti; unde: Stulta mundi elegit God as confundat fortia I Cor. 1.. Perfectior it_is laus. Vel, from ore infantium and lactentium, id it_is, from verbis puerorum Hebræorum perfecisti laudem, which videbatur pueriliter agi propter inimicos, not videatur humana sapientia, but divinitus data. Inimicos tuos. Paganos. Inimicum. Yudæum, who inimicus it_is of_God, dum Patrem solum defendit: because who not/no honorificat Son, not/no honorificat Patrem, or inimicus voto.
8:3 The nations around Israel worshiped heavenly objects as deities. The sun, moon, and stars are indeed immense and glorious, but they are merely the work of your fingers, a reason to praise the Almighty.
