Excerpt from OEuvres Compl�tes de Saint Augustin, �v�que d'Hippone, Vol. 13: Traduites en Fran�ais Et Annot�es; Contenant la Suite des Psaumes
DC m�me, nous trouvons dans le titre de notre psaume, des choses qui sont destin�es � nous en apprendre d'autres. En effet, clans ce r�cit des guerres et des exploits du roi David (11 Rois, o� nous lisons la d�faite de tous ceux qui sont rappel�s ici, nous ne voyons pas qu'il ait mis � feu aucun des pays 51'1bjugu�s. Or, dans ce titre, un des principaux d�tails qui ne se trouve pas dans l'histoire, c'est l'incendie de la Mesopotamic de Syrie et de la Syrie de Sobal par David. Commen�ons donc � rechercher la signification proph�tique de ces paroles, et � percer par la lumi�re du discours l'ombre �paisse qui les enveloppe.

Aurelius Augustinus - more commonly "St. Augustine of Hippo," or simply "Augustine" - was a philosopher and theologian, and one of the most important figures in the development of Western Christianity. He framed the concepts of original sin and just war. Augustine was one of the most prolific Latin authors in terms of surviving works, and the list of his works consists of more than a hundred separate titles.
Augustine took the view that the Biblical text should not be interpreted literally if it contradicts what we know from science and our God-given reason. Many Protestants, especially Calvinists, consider him to be one of the theological fathers of Reformation teaching on salvation and divine grace.
