Commentary upon the Prophecy of Isaiah

He acknowledgeth that his deliverance proceeded not from the industry of men, but from the only favour of God. Whereas some translate; It is the Lord which can deliver me; they express not the thing sufficiently; it also seems they miss the very letter: for he not only magnifies the power of God, but also his work, by which his power was clearly manifested. In a word, he opposeth this his deliverance to that death unto which he was judged of God: for as before he apprehended him as a severe Judge, so now he leaps for joy in acknowledging him to be his redeemer. For this cause he prepares himself again to sing a song of thanksgiving; yea, he calls others to him to aid him therein. He mentions the Temple, because there the faithful met together.

HEe acknowledgeth that his deliuerance proceeded not from the industry of men, but from the onely fauour of God. Whereas some translate; It is the Lord which can deliuer mee; they expresse not the thing sufficiently; it also seemes they misse the very letter: for hee not onely magnifies the power of God, but also his worke, by which his power was cleerly manifested. In a word, he opposeth this his deliuerance to that death vnto which he was iudged of God: for as before he apprehended him as a seuere Iudge, so now he leaps for ioy in acknowledging him to be his redeemer. For this cause he prepares himselfe againe to sing a song of thanksgiuing; yea, he calles others to him to aid him therein. He mentions the Temple, because there the faithfull met together.
