10 Rejoice ye Gentiles with his people. Where as they commonly interpret this verse, as thought it were taken out of the song of Moses, that I like not, because in that place Moses goeth about rather to terrify the adversaries of Israel, with his greatness, then to invite them unto a common rejoicing. Therefore I take it rather to be borrowed out of the 67. psalm: Where it is said, Let the Gentiles rejoice and be glad,1 because thou judgest the people in equity, and governest the nations in the earth. And whereas Paul hath added of his own, with the people of God, that he hath done by the way of explication. For there in deed the Prophet joineth the Gentiles with Israel, and inviteth both of them to gather unto rejoicing, which can not consist, but in the knowledge of God.
10 Reioyce yee Gentiles with his people. Where as they commonly interpret this verse, as thought it were taken out of the song of Moses, that I like not, because in that place Moses goeth about rather to terrifie the aduersaries of Israell, with his greatnesse, then to inuite them vnto a common reioycing. Therefore I take it rather to be borrowed out of the 67. psalme: Where it is sayd, Let the Gentiles reioyce and be glad,1 because thou iudgest the people in equitie, and gouernest the nations in the earth. And whereas Paul hath added of his own, with the people of God, that hee hath done by the way of explication. For there in deede the Prophete ioyneth the Gentiles with Israel, and inuiteth both of them to gather vnto reioycing, which can not consist, but in the knowledge of God.
11 Praise him all ye nations. Neither is this place unaptly applied. For how should they praise God, who know not his greatness? they can do that no more, then call upon his name when they know it not.
