I
Will
sing
to
Iehovah
for
hee
hath
excelled
wonderfully
:
The
horse
and
his
ryder
hee
hath
throwne
in
the
Sea
.
Iah
is
my
strength
and
song
:
and
hee
was
my
salvation
.
This
is
my
strong
GOD
,
and
I
will
make
him
a
tabernacle
;
the
GOD
of
my
fathers
I
shal
exalt
him
.
IEHOVAH
is
a
man
of
warre
,
IEHOVAH
is
his
name
.
Pharoahs
charets
and
his
host
hath
hee
cast
into
the
Sea
:
And
his
chosen
captaines
are
drowned
in
the
red
Sea
.
The
deepths
hath
covered
them
,
they
discended
to
the
bottom
as
a
stone
.
Thy
right
hand
Iehovah
is
magnified
in
strength
thy
right
hand
Iehovah
;
hath
broken
in
peices
the
enemy
And
in
the
greatnesse
of
thy
excellencie
,
thou
hath
everthrowne
those
that
rose
vp
against
thee
;
thou
sent
forth
thy
wrath
which
consumed
them
as
stuble
.
And
with
the
blast
of
thy
nosthirles
the
waters
were
gathered
together
,
the
floods
stood
as
a
heape
,
the
deepths
were
congealed
in
the
heart
of
the
sea
.
The
enemie
had
said
,
I
will
pursue
,
I
wil
overtake
,
I
will
devyde
the
spoyle
,
I
shall
haue
my
heart
syth
of
them
,
I
will
draw
my
sword
,
my
hand
shall
destroy
them
.
Thou
did
blow
with
thy
winde
,
the
sea
covered
them
,
they
sanke
as
lead
in
mightie
waters
.
Who
is
like
vnto
thee
IE-HOVAH
amongst
the
gods
:
Who
is
like
vnto
thee
,
glorious
in
holinesse
,
fearefull
with
praises
,
working
wonders
?
Thou
streatched
out
thy
right
hand
,
the
earth
swallowed
them
.
Thou
leads
in
thy
mercie
this
people
whom
thou
hath
redeemed
:
Thou
guydeth
in
thy
strength
to
the
tabernacle
of
thy
holinesse
.
The
people
shal
heare
:
they
shall
bee
astonished
:
Sorow
shall
take
hold
vpon
the
inhabitants
of
Palestina
.
The
Dukes
of
Edome
shall
bee
amazed
,
feare
shall
take
hold
vpon
the
strong
men
of
Moab
,
all
the
inhabitants
of
Canaan
shall
melt
away
.
Feare
and
dread
shall
fall
vpon
them
by
the
greatnesse
of
thy
arme
,
they
shal
bee
still
as
a
stone
,
vntill
the
people
passe
by
,
IEHOVAH
:
vntill
the
people
passe
by
,
which
thou
hast
purchesed
.
Thou
shall
bring
them
to
it
,
and
plant
them
in
the
mountaine
of
thy
inheritance
:
Iehovah
,
which
thou
made
for
a
dwelling
place
,
in
the
sanctuarie
which
thy
hands
haue
established
.
IEHOVAH
shall
reigne
for
ever
and
ever
.
The
paraphrase
.
1.
WHO
can
but
admire
the
power
goodnesse
,
and
justice
of
our
GOD
:
how
can
I
the
leader
of
this
people
,
or
they
,
cease
to
sing
and
rejoyce
,
seeing
IEHOVAH
the
onely
true
God
,
our
God
,
hath
drowned
in
the
Sea
Phoroahs
charets
and
horses
with
all
his
armie
which
persewed
vs
.
2.
Hee
hath
ever
beene
my
strong
defender
whose
name
is
IAH
:
but
now
he
hath
wonderfully
delivered
vs
from
a
mighty
&
cruell
tyranne
,
therefore
hee
is
the
subject
of
my
song
,
hee
is
our
strong
GOD
,
&
the
GOD
of
our
fathers
,
wee
will
exalt
him
and
honour
him
,
&
publickly
worship
him
,
3.
IEHOVAH
is
a
Lord
mighty
in
battell
as
his
Name
showes
signifying
one
that
hath
being
in
himselfe
,
and
hath
given
beeing
to
all
creatures
;
and
is
well
called
the
LORD
of
Hoasts
.
4.
A
document
heereof
is
this
overthrow
of
Pharoah
with
his
strong
charets
,
the
drovning
of
him
:
of
them
,
of
his
choyse
captaines
and
whole
armie
in
the
red
sea
.
5.
High
was
their
pryde
but
their
persons
lyeth
low
in
the
sea
:
Their
swimming
serveth
them
to
no
more
vse
than
the
stones
,
which
cast
in
the
water
plump
downe
to
the
ground
.
6.
O
LORD
thou
alone
art
strong
,
thou
alone
O
Lord
art
able
to
dash
in
peices
all
thy
enemies
.
7.
And
so
great
is
thy
excellencie
that
thou
overthrowest
all
those
that
ryse
vp
against
thy
people
:
for
thou
accounts
such
to
ryse
vp
against
thy selfe
:
Thy
wrath
breakes
foorth
vpon
them
as
fyre
,
and
before
it
they
are
as
stuble
before
the
fyre
.
8.
Thou
being
moved
with
the
distres
of
thy
people
,
and
rage
of
the
enemie
,
&
with
the
prayer
of
Moses
sent
foorth
a
mighty
east
wind
which
divided
the
sea
in
two
and
made
dry
land
in
the
mids
thereof
for
thy
people
to
passe
thorow
.
9.
And
this
thou
did
o
Lord
in
the
midst
of
the
pryde
and
rage
of
the
enemie
,
in
the
hight
of
their
confidence
and
hope
to
bring
vs
back
to
be
their
perpetuall
slaves
.
10.
But
thou
disapointed
them
with
a
winde
,
which
made
a
dry
way
for
thy
people
,
and
with
the
sea
which
turned
and
drowned
them
all
,
11.
Let
all
the
mightie
that
ever
were
so
accounted
be
rehearsed
,
which
of
them
may
bee
compared
with
thee
O
LORD
,
in
holines
or
goodnes
,
in
acts
praise
worthie
and
wonderfull
.
12.
By
thy
mightie
power
the
sea
which
drowned
them
was
made
the
place
of
their
buriall
.
13.
Now
hast
thou
begun
to
lead
thy
people
whom
of
thy
free
mercie
thou
hast
redeemed
:
now
thou
hast
begun
to
guyde
them
to
the
place
,
where
thy
holynesse
promised
to
dwell
in
the
mids
of
them
.
14.
This
thy
worke
O
Lord
shall
not
rest
heere
,
but
thou
shal
strik
with
feare
other
nations
,
and
with
sorrow
the
Palestins
,
whom
thou
hast
appointed
a
prey
for
thy
people
15.
The
Princes
of
Edom
,
the
strong
men
of
Moab
,
and
all
the
heathen
who
know
not
and
serue
not
thee
,
shall
feare
,
chieflie
the
Canaanits
cursed
of
olde
and
destinate
to
be
rooted
out
by
thy
people
Israell
.
16.
Thou
shall
worke
with
them
so
powerfully
,
that
they
shall
bee
as
stones
,
neither
speaking
nor
moving
,
vntill
all
thy
people
passe
by
them
,
whom
thou
hast
set
at
liberty
,
to
place
them
in
the
land
appointed
for
them
,
17.
To
holy
Canaan
shalt
thou
bring
them
,
which
thou
keepes
as
an
inheritance
for
them
,
where
thou
will
dwell
amongst
them
,
and
by
thy
presence
sanctifie
&
establish
both
it
and
them
.

IEHOVAH
who
now
hath
kythed
to
bee
our
King
,
of
his
Kingdome
there
shall
bee
no
end
.
The
argument
and
analysis
of
this
Song
.
THis
Song
Moses
and
all
Israel
sung
to
the
praise
of
God
,
the
day
after
the
Lord
led
them
through
the
red
Sea
on
dry
land
,
and
after
the
Lord
caused
the
waters
returne
vpon
Pharaohs
chariots
&
horsemen
,
who
persued
and
followed
his
people
,
and
therewith
drowned
them
all
.
The
parts
of
this
Song
are
three
:
1.
a
preface
,
verse
1.
next
the
purpose
of
the
song
from
the
1.
verse
to
the
18.
Thirdly
the
conclusion
,
verse
18.
The
preface
containes
three
things
.
1.
the
maker
and
vptaker
of
the
Song
,
to
wit
Moses
in
these
words
,
I
will
sing
.
2.
the
person
in
whose
praise
this
Song
was
made
&
sung
in
these
wordes
;
to
Iehovah
.
3.
a
reason
of
the
making
and
vptaking
of
this
song
and
praising
of
the
Lord
thereby
,
and
it
hath
two
parts
:
the
1
taken
from
Gods
excellencie
generally
in
these
wordes
,
for
hee
hath
excelled
wonderfully
.
the
2.
taken
from
a
present
particular
document
of
his
excellency
in
these
words
the
horse
and
his
rider
hath
hee
throwne
in
the
Sea
.
The
purpose
of
this
Song
containes
two
thinges
.
1.
the
praise
of
God
,
from
the
beginning
of
the
2.
ver.
to
the
14
Secondly
,
a
Prophesie
of
the
consequents
of
this
great
worke
in
bringing
his
people
through
the
red
Sea
on
dry
land
,
and
drowning
Pharoah
and
his
whole
armie
who
pursued
his
people
.
The
praise
of
God
is
expressed
,
1.
by
the
causes
presently
moving
to
praise
him
.
2.
by
a
vowe
,
heerafter
by
word
and
deede
to
be
thankfull
to
him
verse
2.
Next
they
praise
God
by
enumeration
of
arguments
of
his
praise
from
the
2.
ver.
to
the
14.
Those
arguments
are
eight
in
number
,
the
1
,
is
taken
from
his
valour
,
in
these
wordes
:
the
Lord
is
a
mightie
Warriour
.
the
2.
proving
the
1.
is
taken
from
his
Name
,
in
these
wordes
,
Iehovah
is
his
Name
.
This
name
imports
his
eternity
,
his
trueth
in
performing
his
promises
,
his
beeing
to
bee
of
himself
and
no
other
,
and
that
hee
gives
being
to
all
creatures
:
and
therfore
able
to
destroy
them
againe
when
he
pleases
,
ver.
3.
The
third
argument
of
his
praise
is
taken
from
the
worke
presently
done
vpon
Pharaoh
and
his
hoste
,
verse
4.5
.
The
fourth
argument
of
his
praise
is
taken
from
his
power
conjunct
with
his
justice
in
destroying
his
enemies
,
and
such
as
rose
vp
against
him
,
verse
6.7
.
The
fifth
argument
of
his
praise
is
taken
from
his
power
conjunct
with
his
goodnesse
to
his
people
,
verse
8.
The
sixth
argument
of
his
praise
is
taken
from
the
comparison
of
this
work
of
God
,
with
the
presumption
and
pride
of
the
enemy
,
who
thought
and
said
all
was
in
his
power
,
but
God
blew
with
his
wind
,
and
caused
the
waters
drown
him
and
his
armie
,
verse
,
9.10
.
The
7.
argument
of
his
praise
is
taken
from
the
supereminencie
▪
of
GOD
above
all
men
in
the
world
who
seeme
mightie
;
and
this
supereminencie
is
set
downe
in
three
particulars
:
Holinesse
,
fearefullnesse
,
wonderfulnesse
,
all
kything
in
this
worke
:
His
holinesse
in
delivering
his
people
from
a
mightie
&
cruell
Tyranne
:
his
fearefulnesse
in
destroying
the
tyran
and
his
whole
army
together
;
his
wonderfulnesse
in
divyding
the
Sea
,
making
his
people
to
goe
through
the
middest
of
it
vpon
dry
ground
,
and
making
their
enemies
by
wind
and
water
therein
to
drowne
,
verse
11.12
.
The
8.
argument
of
his
praise
is
taken
from
his
mercie
and
trueth
to
his
people
,
beginning
with
this
work
to
manifest
the
same
,
and
to
confirme
their
faith
and
hope
of
performing
his
promise
made
to
their
fathers
,
verse
13.
The
prophesie
of
the
consequents
of
this
work
of
God
containes
three
things
.
1.
concerning
the
nations
by
whose
land
the
people
of
Israel
should
passe
to
the
land
of
promise
,
namely
the
Edomites
and
Moabites
,
that
feare
and
astonishment
should
fall
vpon
them
,
&
force
them
to
let
his
people
passe
by
.
The
2.
concernes
the
inhabitants
of
Palestina
,
&
chiefly
the
Canaanits
,
that
their
hearts
should
melt
away
for
feare
,
verse
14.15.16
.
The
3.
thing
in
the
prophecie
concernes
GODS
people
,
That
God
should
bring
them
vnto
,
possesse
them
in
,
as
their
inheritance
,
the
land
promised
to
their
fathers
,
and
dwell
amongst
them
by
the
meanes
of
his
publick
visible
worship
,
verse
17.
The
conclusion
of
the
song
is
that
the
Kingdome
of
God
is
everlasting
.

For

of
IEHOVAH

IACOB

Hee
found
him
in
the
land

Wildernesse

and
in
a
waste
and
howling
Wildernesse

hee
caused
him
goe

he
kept

As

Iehovah

led
him

and
there
was
no

god
with

Hee
made
him
ryde
vpon
the
hie
places
of
the
earth
;
and
hee
ate
the
increase
of
the
field
:
and
hee
made
him
to
sucke
honie
out
of
the
rock
,
and
oyle
out

the
flint
of
the
rocke

and
hee
left

made
him

.
They
provoked
him
to
jelosie
with
strange
gods
:
they
provocked
him
to
anger
with
abominations
.
They
sacrificed
to
Devils
,
not

thou

And
IEHOVAH
saw
it
and
hee
abdicat
through
indignation
his
sonnes
and
his

And
hee
said
,
I
will
hide
my

from

,
I
shall
see
what
will
bee
their
end
:
for
they
are
a
froward
generation
,
children
in
whom
is
no
fidelitie

They
haue
provoked
me
to
jealousie
with
that
which
was
not
God
,
they
haue
provoked
mee
to

and
I

provoke

those
that
are
not

I

provoke
them

For
a

is
kindled
in

,
and
shall
burne

and
shall
consume
the
earth
,
with
the
increase
therof
,
&
shal
set
on
fire
the
foundation
of
the
mountains
.
I
will
joyne
evils
togother
vpon
them
,
I
will
spend
my

vpon

,
Burnt
with
hunger
,
eaten

with
burning
coale

and
bitter
destruction
,
&

I
send

with

Without

shall
make

overtake
the

and

,
the

I
said
,
I
shall
scatter
them
in
corners
I
shall
make
the
memorie
of
them
to
cease
from
men
.
Were
not
I
feared
the
wrath
of
the
enemy
least
their
adversaries
should
behaue
themselues
strangely
,
least
they
should
say

our

and
IEHOVAHS
hath
not
wrought
all
this

For
they
are
a
nation
voyd
of
counsell
,
and
hath
no
vnderstanding
in
them
.
Oh
that
they
were
wise
,
that
they
vnderstood
this
:
that
they
vnderstood
their
latter
end
.
How
should
one
chase
a
thousand
,
or
two
put
ten
thousand
to
flight
,
if
not
because
their
Rocke
had
sold
them
,
and
IEHOVAH
caused
them
yeeld
them selfe
.
For
their
rocke
is
not
as
our
ROCKE
,
even
our
enemies
being
judges
.
For
their
vine
is
of
the
vine
of
Sodom
,
and
of
the
fields
of
Gomorah
,
their
graps
,
are
grapes
of
venome
,
they
haue
bitter
clusters
.
Their
wine
is
the
venome
of
Dragons
,
and
the
cruell
head
of
Aspes
.
Is
not
this
laid
vp
beside
me
:
sealed
among
my
treasures
.
Vengeance
is
myne
and
recompense
:
in
time
their
foot
shall
stagger
,
for
the
day
of
their
destruction
is
neare
,
and
hastneth
things
to
come
to
them
.
For
IEHOVAH
shall
judge
his
people
and
shall
repent
himselfe
for
his
servants
,
when
hee
shall
see
the
hand
is
gone
&
nothing
shut
vp
or
left
.
And
hee
shall
say
where
are
their
gods
,
the
rocke
wherein
they
trusted
?
Who
did
eate
the
fatte
of
their

,
dranke
the

of
their
brunt
offerings
,
let
them
ryse

:
let

See
now
that
I

I

I

I

and
there
is

.
For
I
lift
vp
my
hand
to
the
Heavens
and
say
:
I
liue

If
I
sharpe
my

,
I
will
render

Yee

praise
his

:
for
hee
will
auenge
the
blood

render
vengeance

Paraphrase

1.
IF
you
people
will
not
hearken
to
my
words
,
the
Heavens
and
Earth
,
&
all
creatures
other
shall
be
witnesses
against
you
.
2.
If
my
people
bee
a
soft
soyle
,
and
good
ground
,
my
doctrine
shall
be
fruit
full
in
young
and
olde
,
in
weake
and
strong
.
3.
Glorifie
God
in
hearkening
to
his
word
,
for
I
will
make
him
manifest
to
you
,
who
howbeit
hee
be
alwayes
infinite
,
yet
hee
abases
him
to
be
our
God
&
his
will
I
will
declare
.
4.
To
whome
will
yee
goe
from
this
God
?
who
is
so
stronge
,
so
righteous
in
all
his
actions
,
so
true
in
all
his
wordes
,
and
in
whom
no
defect
can
bee
found
?
5.
Yet
Israel
hath
corrupted
his
owne
wayes
,
which
proveth
they
are
not
the
children
of
GOD
,
but
a
wicked
and
perverse
generation
.
6.
Is
this
the
reward
where
with
ye
recompence
God
?
who
hath
adopted
you
to
be
his
children
,
when
ye
were
his
enemies
,
passing
by
the
rest
of
mankinde
who
were
as
sib
to
him
by
creation
as
you
,
who
hath
redeemed
you
from
the
bondage
of
Egypt
,
&
hath
magnified
you
above
other
people
,
when
you
were
worse
than
nothing
.

of

,
shewes
your

ginning
,
&
Gods
great
mercy
&
goodnes
toward
you
8.
When
God
in
his
providence
allotted
to
everi
nation
a
dwelling
place
he
had
minde
of
Israel
and
appointed
for
their
number
a
place
most
convenient
and
most
excellent
.
9.
For
hee
had
freelie
chosen
the
posteritie
of
Iacob
to
bee
his
peculiar
people
beside
all
the
World
.
10.
When
they
were
in
a
Wildernesse
where
there
was
neither
bread
,
nor
water
,
nor
other
thing
to
sustaine
their
life
,
GOD
fed
them
,
and
clad
them
,
and
because
of
their
infidelitie
he
caused
them
go
about
the
Wildernesse
fourtie
yeares
:
during
the
which
time
,
hee
taught
them
by
his
benefites
and
chastisments
:
yet
hee
had
exceeding
great
care
of
them
to
keep
them
from
all
hurt
.
11.
And
look
wha●
care
the
Eagle
or
any
other
fowle
have
of
their
young
ones
in
hatching
them
,
covering
them
vntill
they
can
come
foorth
or
flee
,
and
guiding
them
from
the
nest
:
such
care
had
God
of
his
people
▪
12.
Hee
needed
not
the
helpe
of
any
other
besyde
himselfe
,
&
would
haue
none
:
for
hee
would
haue
the
guyding
of
his
people
to
himselfe
alone
.
13.
Hee
placed
him
in
Canaan
an
hillie
countrie
,
&
full
of
fertill
valleyes
:
whose
craigie
places
were
no●
barren
,
but
there
was
to
bee
found
honnie
,
there
olyves
grew
:
and
it
was
a
land
flowing
with
milke
and
honny
.
14.
Nothing
was
wanting
for
delicate
meate
and
drinke
:
as
butter
,
milke
fat
lambs
,
rams
,
choyse
wheat
,
most
excellent
claret
wyne
,
all
these
the
LORD
gaue
liberallie
to
Israell
.
15.
For
all
this
Israell
who
should
haue
beene
vpright
became
vnthankfull
to
GOD
in
their
prosperitie
like
bruit
beasts
mis●enning
their
maisters
,
they
rebelled
against
their
maker
and
redeemer
.
16.
Lyke
vyle
harlots
they
made
the
LORD
their
husband
angrie
,
committing
sprituall
whooredome
,
with
strange
gods
abhominable
Idols
.
17.
They
came
to
the
hiest
degree
of
idolatry
:
to
giue
the
worship
propper
to
GOD
to
devils
:
yea
they
were
so
foolish
,
that
leaving
the
God
whom
they
knew
,
or
rather
who
knew
them
:
they
worshipped
vnknowne
gods
,
and
did
not
follow
their
holy
fathers
footsteps
.
18.
All
this
thou
didest
not
of
simple
but
of
wilfull
ignorance
after
so
great
experience
of
Gods
loue
to
thee
and
care
for
thee
.
19.
After
that
the
Lord
considered
this
their
apostasie
hee
cast
off
these
that
before
by
outward
cal●ing
appeared
to
bee
his
children
.
20.
Then
hee
said
,
I
will
misken
them
,
I
am
wearie
of
them
,
there
is
no
good
to
be
looked
for
,
from
them
,
they
will
in
end
perish
miserably
.
21.
As
they
haue
done
to
me
so
shal
I
doe
to
them
,
they
forsooke
mee
and
followed
idols
,
I
shall
forsake
them
&
set
other
nations
aboue
them
:
yea
,
the
Gentiles
whom
they
despyse
,
I
will
take
in
their
place
to
be
my
people
,
and
cast
them
off
.
22
I
shall
be
to
them
a
consuming
fyre
,
hie
nor
low
shal
not
escape
my
wrath
,
their
land
and
all
the
increase
thereof
will
I
destroy
.
23
I
will
multiply
my
plagues
vpon
them
,
as
arrows
out
of
my
quiver
shotte
at
them
.
24.
Namelie
famine
,
pestilence
,
wyld
beasts
&
Serpents
,
so
openly
and
secretly
,
without
and
within
,
they
shall
bee
plagued
.
25
No
sort
of
person
,
no
sex
:
neither
younge
nor
old
without
or
within
,
shall
bee
free
from
the
feare
and
stroake
of
the
sword
of
the
enemie
.
26.
Whereas
I
had
made
them
as
the
starres
in
number
and
glorie
,
I
purpose
to
put
them
in
obscure
places
,
and
roote
them
out
.
27.
If
I
had
no
respect
to
my
glorie
that
it
should
not
be
the
subject
of
blasphemie
of
the
Gentils
,
I
should
vtterly
haue
destroyed
them
.
28.
Their
madnes
is
vncurable
why
should
I
spaire
them
:
no
counsell
will
they
follow
,
neither
haue
they
any
wit
.
29.
It
is
a
pittie
to
see
the
hardnesse
of
their
heart
,
that
after
so
long
experience
of
punishment
,
they
cannot
consider
their
case
nor
what
will
be
their
end
30.
So
long
as
I
fought
for
them
and
was
with
them
,
no
multituds
could
resist
them
,
now
while
as
man
of
them
are
overcome
by
few
,
it
is
evident
they
want
my
protection
.
31.
I
take
to
witnesse
the
infidels
who
by
experience
of
my
power
finde
,
that
I
am
not
lyke
their
idols
.
32.
Moreover
,
they
&
their
workes
are
wicked
,
as
if
they
had
beene
the
seed
of
Sodom
and
Gomorah
;
venemous
and
bitter
fruit
bring
they
foorth
.
33.
No
nation
so
wicked
as
they
,
being
lyker
to
Dragons
and
Aspes
nor
men
.
34.
This
their
wickednesse
is
laid
vp
in
store
with
mee
,
and
treasured
vp
in
the
treasure
of
my
wrath
,
against
the
day
thereof
,
and
revelation
of
my
righteous
judgement
.
35.
I
am
judge
of
all
the
world
,
it
is
my
office
to
punish
,
howbeit
I
seeme
to
delay
,
you
shall
fall
in
due
tyme
,
your
destruction
bee
the
evill
that
shall
come
vpon
you
at
hand
.
36.
Albeit
the
LORD
shall
judge
his
people
:
yet
at
last
hee
shall
be
appeased
,
and
moved
with
repentance
,
to
mitigate
the
rigor
of
his
wrath
,
when
hee
shall
see
all
their
strength
gone
,
and
all
almost
destroyed
at
home
and
abroade
.
37.
Then
shall
they
say
to
their
enemies
,
where
are
your
gods
,
where
are
your
rocks
,
your
particular
patrons
in
whom
ye
trusted
38.
Before
whom
the
Priests
did
eat
the
fat
of
the
sacrifice
,
and
dranke
the
wine
of
their
drinke
offering
,
let
those
idols
helpe
you
now
and
take
your
protection
.
39.
Let
them
who
haue
eyes
to
see
behold
mee
,
and
make
no
gods
my
companion
:
for
I
haue
power
to
kill
,
and
to
keepe
aliue
,
to
wound
,
&
make
heale
:
let
them
in
all
changes
trust
in
mee
,
and
feare
to
offend
mee
,
whose
hand
none
can
escape
.
40.
For
I
hold
vp
my
hand
to
Heaven
and
sweare
,
saying
,
As
I
am
the
everliving
GOD.
41.
My
enemies
thinke
my
sword
wil
alwayes
be
hid
in
the
scabard
,
and
because
I
am
patient
,
that
I
cease
to
bee
a
iust
judge
:
but
they
shall
feele
the
contrare
,
when
my
wrath
shall
breake
out
against
them
.
42.
There
shall
bee
no
end
of
my
vengeance
,
vntill
the
earth
bee
filled
with
blood
and
dead
bodies
,
&
my
enemies
be
made
captives
,
vpon
whom
I
will
haue
no
mercie
.
43.
Seeing
GOD
will
manifest
his
goodnesse
to
his
people
I
sraell
,
&
his
mercie
:
it
is
the
part
of
all
nations
to
acknowledge
the
same
,
and
to
praise
him
in
the
communion
of
Sancts
both
of
Iewes
&
Gentiles
The
argument
and
analysis
of
this
song
.
GOD
caused
and
commanded
Moses
to
write
this
Song
,
&
preach
it
to
Israel
,
and
to
testifie
Gods
goodnesse
and
grace
to
them
,
and
to
convince
them
of
vnthankfulnesse
towards
God
,
and
to
prepare
the
catholick
kirk
of
the
Iewes
,
who
were
to
bee
dispersed
through
the
world
:
Therefore
hee
commanded
this
song
to
bee
put
in
the
mouth
of
the
Israelites
,
and
to
be
preserved
in
writen
monuments
.

the

Church

Iudge
of
all
the
world
,
contests
with
the
people
of
Israel
by
this
solemne
Song
,
of
his
goodnesse
towards
them
,
of
their
ingratitude
and
contumacie
seene
already
in
Moses
dayes
:
and
now
forseene
by
him
that
it
would
bee
greater
heereafter
,

prophesieth
by
Moses
of
the
rejection
of
the
Iewes
,

of
the

My
doctrine
:
the
Hebrew
word
signifieth
received
learning
,
a
good
description
of
the
doctrine
of
true
religion
,
because
it
is
receiued
from
GOD
,
not
devysed
by
men

shee
pricked
through
,
and
pearsed
the
temple
of
his
head
.
Betwixt
her
feete
hee
was
bowed
together
,
hee
fell
,
hee
sleept
betwixt
her
feet
:
hee
bowed
himselfe
,
hee
fell
where
hee
bowed
himselfe
,
there
hee
fell
spoyled
.
The
mother
of
Sisera
looked
through
the
window
,
and
cryed
out
at
the
open
of
the
window
,
Why
tarryes
his
charet
from
comming
?
why
are
the
turning
of
his
foure
wheeles
made
slow
.
Her
wise
ladies
answered
vnto
her
,
also
shee
her selfe
turned
her
speaches
to
her selfe
.
Haue
they
not
found
?
shall
they
not
divyde
the
spoyle
?
one
damosell
,
two
damosels
,
for
everie
man
:
The
spoyle
of
colours
for
Sisera
himselfe
,
the
spoyle
of
party
collours
of
needle
worke
,
two
of
spoyle
for
the
necke
.
So
let
thy
enemies
all
perish
IEHOVAH
:
and
let
those
that
loue
him
,
bee
as
the
sunne
going
foorth
in
his
strength

PRaise
yee
the
LORD
who
both
hath
made
you
able
to
revenge
your selfe
vpon
your
enemies
,
and
given

and

.
2.
O
yee
Kings
who
trust
in
your

,
&
rulers
who
lift

your selfe
in

:
heare
and
hearken
vnto
the
words
of
this
song
;
wherein
the
LORD
,
the
GOD
of
Israel
is
praised
:
for
it
serveth
to
teach
you
.

O
LORD
when
thou
led
thy
people
from
mount
Seir
,
and
the
land
of
Edom
toward
the
land
of
Canaan
:
all
creatures
in
Heaven
and
earth
were
moved
with
thy
presence
among
thy
people
.

Yea
the
mountaines
that
seemd
so
solid
melted
before
the
face
of
the
LORD
,
even
mount
Sinai
where
thou
gaue
thy
law
.
5.
A
long
time
before
this
our
last
deliverance
our
estate
was
so
hard
,
that
from
the
death
of
Ehud
vnto
this
tyme
:
none
durst
goe
abroad
,
for
feare
of
the
enemie
.
6.
And
as
the
people
durst
not
travell
in
hie
wayes
:
So
might
they
not
abyde
in
villages
:
vntill
the
time
that
GOD
raised
mee
vp
,
to
foretell
and
confirme
the
deliverance
of
his
people
.
7.
Because
Israel
chosed
new
gods
,
God
raised
vp
new
enemies
to
sight
against
them
and
oppresse
them
:
so
that
no
weapon
was
found
among
them
.
8.
I
rejoyce
of
the
Princes
of
Israel
and
of
the
people
who
came
willingly
to
battell
.
Blesse
ye
the
Lord
.
9
Let
al
sort
of
people
speak
of
this
work
of
God
:
but
namely
merchants
,
judges
,
way-faring
folke
,
where
before
hid
them selues
for
feare
of
the
enemie
.
10.
Before
for
feare
of
the
enemy
they
durst
not
come
foorth
to
draw
water
,
nor
inhabit
villages
,
nor
minister
justice
:
now
the
case
is
altered
,
by
the
righteous
acts
of
the
LORD
:
which
wee
should
proclaime
.
11.
Thou
Deborah
a
prophetesse
ryse
vp
and
sing
thy
song
of
praise
to
GOD.
and
thou
Barak
captaine
of
the
Lords
armie
,
triumph
over
the
Cananite
.
12.
When
wee
were
left
few
in
number
and
dispysed
:
our
enemi●s
were
manie
and
mightie
:
yet
the
Lord
hath
made
vs
rule
over
them
13.
To
this
battel
came
some
of
the
tribe
of
Ephraim
,
&
of
Beniamin
,
and
of
the
familie
of
Machir
of
the
tribe
of
Manasseh
,
&
of
the
tribe
of
Zebulon
,
men
more
wise
&
learned
then
valourous
warriours
.
14.
The
Princes
of
Isachar
were
also
with
Deborah
:
And
Isachars
souldiers
being
footemen
;
attended
Barak
in
the
valley
:
It
greived
vs
much
that
the
Reubenites
concurred
not
to
helpe
vs
.
15.
Why
had
thou
greater
pleasure
in
the
care
of
thy
flocks
,
nor
in
the
care
of
the
commonwealth
?
more
care
of
thy
beasts
then
of
GODS
people
,
wee
marveled
much
when
we
saw
Reuben
absent
.
16.
Gilead
came
not
:
Dan
for
feare
keept
the
boats
of
Iordan
to
flee
away
.
Asher
also
did
stay
at
home
in
his
surest
places
for
refuge
.
17
Such
courage
&
zeale
was
in
the
tribs
of
Zebulon
&
Naphtali
,
who
being
few
in
number
in
comparison
with
their
enemies
,
did
venter
.
18
Many
Kings
of
Canaan
sent
their
forces
with
Sisera
,
who
fought
in
the
plaine
betwixt
Taanah
&
Megiddo
:
They
looked
for
greater
spoyle
&
riches
,
but
brought
none
away
19.
GOD
shew
himselfe
partie
against
the
enemies
of
his
people
:
and
caused
the
starres
in
their
stations
fight
against
them
.
20.
Hee
also
caused
the
river
Kison
to
swell
&
drowne
them
:
and
made
his
people
stout
to
slay
them
.
21.
So
sore
were
the
horse
put
at
in
fighting
and
fleeing
,
that
they
being
strong
and
beating
the
ground
.
with
their
feete
,
brake
all
their
hoofes
.
22.
Barak
the
Lords
messenger
,
had
good
cause
to
curse
,
and
bide
curse
the
inhabitants
of
Meroz
,
who
would
not
come
foorth
to
helpe
GODS
people
,
being
so
neare
them
.
23.
Iahel
the
wife
of
Cheber
the
Kenite
shall
bee
much
praised
aboue
other
women
who
dwell
in
tents
.
24.
When
Sisera
fled
&
came
to
her
tent
to
hyde
himselfe
,
hee
called
for
water
to
quench
his
thirst
:
shee
gaue
him
milke
and
butter
in
pretious
vessels
like
a
freind
or
servant
.
25.
But
when
shee
saw
him
fast
a
sleepe
shee
tooke
one
of
the
nailes
of
the
tent
,
with
a
hammer
in
her
right
hand
,
wherewith
she
drove
the
naile
,
throgh
the
temples
of
his
head
fast
in
the
ground
.
26.
So
that
hee
lay
first
sleeping
,
next
dead
among
her
feete
:
notwithstanding
all
his
strugling
in
the
agony
of
death
:
So
ended
this
great
Captaine
oppressor
of
others
.
27.
Sisera
his
mother
looking
for
his
returne
with
victorie
,
being
impatient
,
whiles
looked
out
at
the
window
,
whiles
cryed
out
,
why
stayes
he
so
long
what
can
bee
his
stay
.
28.
Her
ladies
essayed
al
their
wits
to
comfort
her
,
yea
even
shee
comforted
her self
with
his
owne
words
saying
.
29.
They
haue
found
their
prey
,
they
are
parting
the
spoyle
,
even
damosels
to
everie
man
:
and
the
colloured
&
partie
coloured
garments
sowed
with
nedle
worke
made
to
be
ornaments
for
their
neckes
.
30.
This
may
bee
a
document
to
all
ages
,
that
all
the
enemies
of
GOD
shall
perish
:
and
those
that
loue
him
shall
shine
as
the
sun
at
noone
day
.
The
argument
and
analysis
of
this
song
.
AFter
the
death
of
Ehud
who
slew
Eglon
king
of
Moab
,
and
delyvered
Israel
out
of
the
hands
of
Moabits
:
whom
they
had
served
eighteene
yeares
before
,
Israel
had
rest
from
enemies
for
the
space
of
foure
score
yeares
:
But
againe
Israel
wrought
wickednesse
in
the
sight
of
the
LORD
:
therefore
he
delivered
them
over
into
the
hands
of
Iabin
king
of
the
Canaanits
:
the
generall
of
whose
armie
was
called
Sisera
,
who
oppressed
Israel
the
space
of
twentie
yeares
:
Then
Israel
repented
them
of
their
sinnes
,
humbled
themselfe
and
cryed
to
the
Lord
and
hee
heard
them
:
And
Deborah
▪
Barak
,
&
Iabel
,
he
made
instruments
to
deliver
them
.

OF
this
late

great
benefite
O
LORD
which
thou
hast
bestowed

mee

I
haue
conceaved
so
great
joy

that
my
heart
which
before
was
heavie
,
now
is
light
:
and
my
weakenesse
made
strong

my
mouth
closed
before
is
now
opned

against
my
enemies

&
others
who
reproached
mee

In
thee
O
LORD
I
rejoyce
justlie

who
art
most
holy
,
hath
no
companion
:
neither
is
there
any
so
able
to
saue
.

Speake
not
proudly
,
as
thou
was
wont
to
doe
,
O
my
enemies
:
for
the
LORD
knowes
all
things
,
and
without
him
we
can
doe
nothing
.

O
Peninna
thy
strength
is
gone
,
who
insulted
vpon
my
barrennesse
:
and
I
who
was
weake
am
made
strong
.
5.
The
case
now
is
farre
changed
:
thou
was
full
of
prosperitie
:
now
thou
must
content
thy selfe
.
I
was
in
great
affliction
when
I
had
no
child
:
God
hath
now
given
to
me
one
childe
better
nor
seven
,
more
worth
then
all
thine

The
LORD
is
author

can
bring
contrares

The

analysis
of
this
song
.
CHANNAH
the
wife
of
Elkanah
(
who
also
had
another
wife
called
Peninna
)
beeing
a
long
time
barren
,
which
grieved
her
much
:
(
for
the
Hebrew
women
knowing
the
promise
of
the
seed
of
the
woman
to
tread
downe
the
head
of
the
serpent
,

and
that
that
seed
should
of
the
posteritie
of
Abraham
their
father
,
esteemed
barrennesse
a
great
crosse
)
And
her
companion
Peninna
having
children
to
Elkanah
insulting
vpon
her
added
affliction
to
the
afflicted
.
Therefore
Channah
prayed
to
God
earnestly
to
comfort
her
,
to
take
away
her
reproach
,
and
giue
her
a
son
:
The
Lord
heard
her
prayer
,
and
gaue
her
a
son
,
whom
therefore
she
called
Samuell
,
that
is
to
say
:
The
strong
God
heard
:
And
shee
beeing
moved
by
the
Spirit
of

thereof

all

The

taken
from

:
her
deliverance
from
her
griefe
and
reproach
which
shee
ascribs
to
GOD
,
and
cals
it
,
hersalvation
.
verse

The
2.
reason
is
taken
from
the
vnchangeable
nature
of
GOD
,
that
hee
is
most
holie
,
most
strong
,
most
true

The
dehortation

That
none
,
specially
Peninna
,
bee
any
more
proude
or
vtter
loftie
language
which
is
the
effect
of
pryde
:
the
reason
of
her
dehortation
are
two
,
The
1.
is
taken
from
Gods
omniscience
:
The
2.
from
his
powerfull
providence
.
verse

The
2.
reason
is
illustrat
by
the
effects
thereof

of
which
effects
shee
showeth
the

The

containes
a
pophecie
of
the

,
the
destruction
of

Text.
I
Said
in
the
cutting
of
my
dayes
,
I
shall
goe
to
the
ports
of
the
grave
:
I
am
deprived
of
the
rest
of
my
yeares
.
I
said
,
I
shall
not
see
IAH
,
Iah
in
the
land
of
the
living
:
I
shall
not
behold
man
more
,
with
the
inhabitants
of
the
world
.
My
habitation
is
gone
and
flitted
from
me
,
as
a
sheep-heards
tent
:
I
haue
cut
off
as
a
weaver
my
lyfe
:
he
wil
cut
me
off
from
the
thrum
:
from
the
daye
to
the
night
thou
will
destroy
mee
.
I
resolved
vnto
the
morning
as
a
Lyon
hee
so
bruised
all
my
bones
,
from
the
daye
to
the
night
thou
consumes
me
As
a
crane
,
a
swallow
,
I
chettered
:
I
sighed
like
a
dove
;
myne
eyes
were
lifted
vp
to
the
hight
:
IEHOVAH
,
I
am
weake
give
me
rest
.
What
shall
I
saye
?
both
hee
said
to
mee
,
and
he
himself
hath
done
it
:
I
shall
goe
on
all
my
yeeres
with
the
bitternesse
of
my
soule
.
Lord
vpon
these
they
shall
live
,
in
all
wherein
the
lyfe
of
my
spirit
is
,
and
thou
wilt
heale
me
and
give
me
life
.
Behold
,
for
peace
I
had
bitternesse
,
and
thou
hast
loved
my
soule
from
the
pit
of
rottennesse
:
because
thou
hast
cast
all
my
sinnes
behind
thy
back
.
For
the
graue
shal
not
confesse
vnto
thee
,
death
praise
thee
neither
shall
they
hope
who
goe
downe
to
the
pit
to
thy
trueth
.
The
living
,
the
living
hee
shall
confesse
vnto
thee
:
as
I
this
day
:
the
father
to
the
sonnes
,
shall
make
knowne
thy
trueth
.
IEHOVAH
to
saue
mee
:
Therefore
my
songs
shall
we
play
:
all
the
dayes
of
our
lyfe
in
the
House
of
IEHOVAH
.
Paraphrase
.
1.
WHen
I
thought
God
was
cutting
the
threed
of
my
life
,
by
deaths
knife
:
I
thought
,
and
said
within
my selfe
:
I
shall
now
die
young
and
child-lesse
.
2.
Then
my
greatest
griefe
was
,
that
my
bodily
eyes
should
not
see
God
for
a
long
time
:
and
presentlie
to
be
deprived
of
the
sight
of
him
,
in
the
mirrour
of
his
workes
,
word
and
Sacraments
.
3.
My
dwelling
place
leaves
mee
,
and
I
it
:
as
a
sheep-herd
leaveth
his
tent
:
the
web
of
my
life
is
cut
out
:
as
the
weaver
cutteth
out
a
web
out
of
his
loome
:
for
I
made
it
short
by
sins
God
hath
made
it
short
in
his
justice
:
and
gives
to
mee
no
rest
daye
or
night
.
4.
After
the
nights
vnrest
I
looked
for
no
better
in
the
morning
:
but
that
hee
cruelly
wold
destroy
mee
.
5.
The
cranes
and
swallows
cannot
speak
in
their
pain
;
yet
they
chatter
,
and
the
dove
cheeps
:
so
,
vnder
so
great
griefe
and
paine
,
I
could
doe
nothing
,
but
mourne
,
sigh
,
lift
vp
my
eyes
and
heart
to
God
.
6.
It
is
the
Lord
,
I
can
neither
say
good
nor
euill
:
he
hath
spoken
to
mee
by
his
servant
Esay
,
and
is
doing
accordingly
:
I
will
never
forget
this
heavie
hand
of
God
vpon
mee
.
7.
Vpon
such
meditations
the
godly
shall
be
comforted
:
in
time
of
sicknesse
&
death
:
as
I
now
,
hoping
yet
for
life
and
health
,
from
thee
O
Lord
.
8
In
place
of
peace
&
health
which
I
had
,
God
layd
vpon
me
sore
sicknesse
and
trouble
of
Spirit
:
yet
hee
loves
mee
:
because
,
howbeit
hee
hath
afflicted
mee
sore
:
yet
hath
hee
not
delivered
mee
to
death
.
Psal.
118.
but
hath
forgiven
my
sinnes
,
and
set
mee
away
with
peace
.
9.
And
this
thou
hast
done
that
yet
I
might
worship
thee
in
the
land
of
the
living
,
which
bodies
dead
,
and
buried
cannot
doe
.
10.
But
man
living
as
I
am
yet
,
shall
praise
thee
:
and
one
generation
shall
deliver
thy
trueth
,
vnto
another
.
11.
The
Lord
was
readie
to
saue
mee
.
Therefore
my
song
shall
bee
sung
,
even
this
song
tuned
&
played
,
vpon
musicall
instruments
,
in
witnesse
of
mee
and
my
peoples
thankfulnesse
to
God
for
this
my
deliverance
.
The
argument
and
analysis
of
this
song
.
HEzechiah
king
of
Iudah
beeing
sicke
of
a
desperat
disease
,
which
the
learned
thinke
to
haue
bene
a
pestilentious
fever
,
because
mention
is
made
of
Byle
.
It
was
Gods
will
that
the
Prophet
Esay
should
say
to
him
hee
should
die
be
that
disease
:
This
messenger
did
much
commoue
Hezechiah
:
partly
because
hee
was
then
a
younge
man
,
and
had
no
child
:
partly
because
he
beeing
tormented
both
in
body
and
spirit
seared
death
:
But
chiefely
because
hee
having
long
before
resolved
to
serve
God
,
and
doe
good
to
his
Church
,
this
good
intention
would
faile
.
Being
in
this
estate
hee
prayed
,
and
weeped
sore
,
and
the
Lord
heard
and
pittied
him
:
Therfore
he
sent
againe
to
him
the
Prophet
Esay
:
with
another
more
comportable
commission
then
the
first
:
namely
,
that
hee
should
not
die
at
this
time
:
but
haue
fifteene
yeares
added
to
his
yeares
hee
had
lived
alreadie
:
hee
being
thus
comforted
,
beganne
to
recognosce
his
thoughts
in
time
of
his
sicknesse
,
and
to
consider
Gods
great
mercie
toward
him
:
for
the
which
he
promised
to
bee
thankfull
all
the
dayes
of
his
life
.
These
things
after
hee
had
convalesced
hee
put
in
write
,
and
makes
the
argument
of
this
song
.
The
parts
of
the
song
are
three
:
The
1.
is
a
recognoscing
of
his
thoghts
and
words
,
in
tyme
of
his
sicknesse
:
from
the
1.
verse
to
the
6.
The
2.
is
the
consolation
wherewith
he
comforted
himselfe
,
from
the
6.
verse
to
the
11.
The
3.
is
the
conclusion
of
the
song
verse
11.
As
to
the
1.
part
hee
sayeth
his
thoughts
and
words
were
these
.
1.
hee
thought
and
said
hee
would
die
of
this
disease
.
verse
1.
Next
hee
thought
and
said
hee
would
haue
no
more
tyme
place
or
occasion
to
serue
GOD
among
men
living
vpon
the
earth
,
verse
2.
Thirdly
hee
repeats
his
thoughts
of
death
,
in
similitude
taken
from
sheepe-heards
,
and
weavers
:
verse
3
4.
Fourthly
by
the
similitude
of
Crane
,
swallowes
,
doues
:
hee
expresseth
his
paine
&
prayer
,
verse
5.
As
for
the
2.
part
,
to
wit
,
his
conclusion
:
the
grounds
thereof
are
these
.
1.
that
GOD
declared
to
him
his
will
by
the
Prophet
that
he
should
die
:
and
it
was
GODS
hand
vpon
him
.
2.
his
resolution
to
passe
the
rest
of
his
time
in
humilitie
and
repentance
verse
6.
Thirdly
,
he
comforts
himfelf
with
Gods
promise
,
verse
7.
Fourthly
,
he
comforteth
himself
with
Gods
mercie
,
set
downe
with
the
motive
thereof
,
that
God
may
bee
honoured
by
his
servants
living
vpon
earth
,
verse
8.9.10
.
The
conclusion
is
,
that
hee
wil
praise
God
while
he
liveth
,
verse
11.

for

and
holy

And
his

with

hee
hath
scattered
the
proude
with
the
discourse
of

Hee
hath
pulled
the
mightie
out
of
thrones

and
hath
exalted
the
humble
.
Hee
filled
the
hungry
with
good
things
,
and
hath
sent
the
rich
away
emptie

Hee
hath
taken
vp
Israel
his
child
to
remember
his
mercie

As
hee
spake
to
our
fathers
Abraham
and
his
seed
for

I
Am
so
ravished
with
admiration
of
the
mercie

goodnesse

and

of

toward

that
all
the
powers
of

concurre

to

And
this
is
the

Who
hath
looked

shall
proclaime

For

holie
GOD
hath
done
great

wonderfull
things

And

is
not

good
to
me

but
also
to
all
that
loue

serue

By
his
mightie
power
he
hath
wroght
a

work
he
hath
dissipat
the

and
all

God
resisteth
the
proud
:
and
giveth
grace
to
the
humble
:
exalting
them
which
will
be
seene

and
Herod

Such
as
were
poore

as

he
hath
made
aboundantly
content
:
And
vpon
rich
men
as
Herod
he
is
bringing
great
miserie
and
male-contentment
.
9.
With
his
owne
hand
hee
hath
lifted
vp
Israel
his
servant
:
and
exalted
him
:
who
before
was
despised
,
remembring

of

The
argument
and
analysis
of
this
song
.
MARIE
having
harkned
to
the
message
of
the
Angell
Gabriel
:
hasted
to
Hebron
a
towne
of
the
trybe
of
Iudah
,
pertaining
to
the
Levits
,
situat
among
the
mountaines
:
where
Zachariah
&
Elisabeth
her
coosin
dwelt
:
to
show
her
this
mervelous
worke
of
God
with
her
,
that
she
a
virgin
not
knowing
man
had
conceived
by
the
holy
Ghost
:
that
child
who
should
bee
the
Messias
promised
to
the
fathers
:
Now
so
soone
as
Mary
came
to
Elisabeth
,
and
saluted
her
:
At
the
voyce
of
Maries
salutation
:
Iohn
the
Baptist
who
was
to
bee
the
forerunner
of
CHRIST
,
leapt
within
the
wombe
of
Elisabeth
:
And
Elisabeth
beeing
filled
with
the
holy
Ghost
,
told
Marie
the
tydings
,
she
came
to
tell
her
:
before
Marie
vttered
a
word
more
then
the
salutation
:
and
shee
proclaimed
Marie
to
bee
a
blessed
woman
,
the
mother
of
her
LORD
,
&
the
fruite
of
her
wombe
blessed
;
and
shew
her
that
so
soone
as
shee
heard
the
voyce
of
her
salutation
:
her
owne
child
leapt
for
joy
within
her
bellie
.
Even
Iohn
(
sayeth
Augustine
)
moving
,
saluteth
Christ
,
whom
as
yet
hee
could
,
not
salute
with
words
.
And
Elisabeth
assured
Marie
,
that
that
should
come
to
passe
,
which
was
told
her
from
the
Lord
by
his
Angell
:
Then
Marie
moved
by
the
holie
Spirit
vttered
the
words
of
this
song
containing
the
praise
of
GOD
:
for
his
great
mercie
and
goodnesse
towards
her
:
and
towards
all
his
servants
in
all
ages
:
and
for
his
wise
,
just
,
powerfull
providence
,
for
his
Church
and
against
the
enemies
thereof
:
according
to
his
covenant
with
Abraham
and
his
seed
for
ever
.

Paraphrase
.
1.
Let
God
bee
praised
and
preached
most
worthie
of
praise
:
because
that
now
hee
hath
declared
,
that
he
was
mindefull
of
his
people
,
in
sending
his
Sonne
to
visit
and
redeeme
them
2.
And
now
while
as
the
strength
of
Israel
seemed
to
bee
gone
,
and
the
promise
made
to
David
to
haue
failed
:
he
hath
raised
vp
his
CHRIST
:
who
by
his
strength
shall
overthrow
our
enemies
:
and
establish
the
kingdome
in
the
house
of
David
.
3.
According
to
his
promises
by
his
servants
:
continued
in
all
ages
since
the
beginning
.
4.
Who
prophecied
that
we
should
bee
delivered
from
our
enemies
and
from
the
power
of
all
who
hate
vs
.
5.
And
to
performe
his
mercie
promised
.
to
our
fathers
:
and
shew
hee
did
remember
his
covenant
made
,
seald
to
Abraham
.
6.
By
oath
,
vision
,
and
circumcision
.
7.
That
wee
beeing
delivered
from
the
power
of
our
enemies
,
might
serue
him
willingly
&
boldly
.
8.
In
holynesse
and
true
righteousnesse
in
his
sight
continually
(
who
searches
the
hearts
and
raines
)
so
long
as
wee
liue
.
9.
But
now
thou
my
younge
sonne
:
though
thou
seeme
litle
worth
:
yet
thou
shall
be
a
great
one
:
even
furriour
of
the
great
King
:
and
his
forerunner
to
prepare
his
peoples
hearts
to
receaue
him
.
10.
Opning
to
them
the
way
of
salvation
,
in
repentance
and
faith
in
the
blood
of
Christ
the
Lambe
of
God
who
takes
away
the
sins
of
the
world
.
12.
Which
is
the
greatest
mercie
given
vs
by
GOD
:
manifesting
his
Sonne
in
the
flesh
:
who
commeth
from
Heaven
.
13.
Who
also
shall
be
a
light
to
the
Gentiles
,
who
now
sit
in
darknesse
and
deadly
ignorance
:
&
lead
both
vs
and
them
to
true
happinesse
.
The
argument
and
analysis
of
this
song
.
ZACHARIE
the
father
of
Iohn
the
Baptist
,
a
priest
of
the
order
of
Abiah
:
when
hee
was
doing
his
office
according
to
the
order
of
his
course
,
in
the
temple
of
the
LORD
.
Gabriel
the
Angell
appeared
vnto
him
and
told
him
that
his
wife
Elisabeth
should
beare
him
a
sonne
:
&
commanded
him
to
call
his
name
Iohn
:
Also
hee
shew
him
that
hee
should
bee
that
Elias
of
whom
Malachi
prophecied
chap
4.
v.
5.
Which
message
Zacharie
doubted
of
:
considering
that
both
hee
and
Elisabeth
were
old
:
and
she
had
beene
all
her
dayes
till
then
barren
.
Therefore
he
was
striken
with
dumbnesse
vntill
the
day
Iohn
was
borne
:
so
that
vpon
the
eight
day
after
,
when
they
were
about
the
circumcision
of
the
child
,
they
speared
at
him
how
the
childe
should
be
called
:
&
he
asking
writting
tables
,
because
he
could
not
speake
,
wrote
,
his
name
shall
bee
IOHN
:
and
immediatly
his
tongue
was
loosed
:
and
he
opned
his
mouth
,
and
praised
GOD.
And
beeing
filled
with
the
Spirit
of
GOD
hee
spake
the
words
of
this
song
:
The
summe
of
it
is
:
he
praised
GOD
for
performing
of
his
promise
concerning
Messiah
:
made
to
their
father
Abraham
and
to
David
,
and
foretold
by
the
holy
Prophets
since
the
world
beganne
:
and
in
the
end
he
prophecieth
that
his
sonne
Iohn
should
be
the
forerunner
and
furriour
of
CHRIST
.
The
parts
of
the
song
are
three
;
The
1.
containeth
the
praise
of
GOD
or
an
exhortation
to
praise
him
ver.
1.
at
the
beginning
:
The
2.
part
containes
the
reasons
of
the
exhortation
:
from
the
1.
to
the
9.
And
they
are
in
number
3.
The
1.
is
the
visitation
of
his
people
.
The
2.
is
the
redemption
of
them
:
verse
1.
The
3.
reason
is
the
raising
vp
of
the
horne
of
salvation
in
the
house
of
David
.
verse
2.
All
these
3.
reasons
are
illustrate
,
by
comparing
the
promises
of
God
and
prophecies
with
these
things
,
the
event
and
accomplishment
of
them
verse
3.4.5.6.7.8
.
The
3.
part
of
the
song
,
containes
a
prophecie
concerning
his
sonne
Iohn
:
that
he
should
bee
called
a
Prophet
,
be
the
furriour
and
sorerunner
of
CHRIST
.
verse
9.
Next
the
ministrie
and
doctriné
of
Iohn
,
viz.
to
point
out
Messiah
:
prepare
the
people
to
receaue
him
:
teach
the
doctrine
of
repentance
&
faith
,
for
receaving
by
the
mercie
of
GOD
remission
of
sinnes
verse
10.11
.
Thirdly
hee
sets
downe
the
finall
cause
of
CHRISTS
first
comming
,
to
wit
,
to
giue
light
,
comfort
,
life
eternall
to
all
those
that
should
beleeue
in
him

for
