Psalm 16:7

“…I foresaw the Lord alway before Me, because He is at My right hand, that I may not be moved: and soon after Yea and even until night my reins chastened me.” — editor's note: Ib. 7. Quoting from memory, Cyril transposes these sentences.

“For it is said, “Abraham saw my day, and was glad:” and of tribulation it is said, “my reins also have instructed me, even unto the night.”” — editor's note: Ps. xvi. 7.

“And therefore when in another Psalm he had said, “Moreover even to-night my reins have chided me;” he went on to say as touching help, “I foresaw the Lord alway in my sight, for He is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.”” — editor's note: Ps. xvi. 7, 8.

““I will bless the Lord, who hath given Me understanding” (ver. 7): whereby this inheritance may be seen and possessed.” — the author cites it

“Think, what thou singest on that occasion, “Return unto thy rest, O my soul, for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee.” ( Ps. cxvi. 7.)” — the author cites it

“Hearest thou not the Psalm that saith, “Return unto thy rest, O my soul, for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee?”” — editor's note: Ps. cxvi. 7.

“For, to give one instance only, when he comments on the psalmist’s words: “My reins also instruct me in the night season,” he maintains that when a holy man like yourself has reached perfection, he is free even at night from human infirmity and is not tempted by evil thoughts.” — editor's note: Ps. xvi. 7 and Origen’s Comm. ad loc.
