According to Butler, the Explanatio psalmorum contains
Augustines most complete description of a mystical
experience. Taking Ps xli as his starting point, Augustine
traces the journey of the soul to a vision of God.
Under the influence of Ambrose, Augustine turned to
the O.T. which he had earlier rejected as a Manichean
to find the authority of faith.
