The Prophet, in the name of the Church, begins the song of praise. And without all doubt, it is a gospel song, in which redemption is celebrated. Probably with reference to the ruin of Babylon, which, though the captivity of the Church in Babylon was not then begun, much less finished; yet looking to the close of it, under the teaching of the Spirit, the prophet blesseth Jehovah for bringing his people out of it, and destroying the Church's enemies. But we lose the whole beauty of this hymn, and the design for which it is handed down to us, if we do not see in it the faithfulness and truth of Jehovah, in the accomplishment of redemption by the Lord Jesus Christ. Here the Church sings and triumphs, and every redeemed soul shouts aloud, O Lord thou art my God. I will exalt thee, for thou hast indeed, done wonderful things. Reader, think what wonders in redemption! what wonders in thy redemption!
