Which the sons of Enosh behold, saith Mr Broughton. But the word Sons is not in the Text, there 'tis only men, or weak men. The word which we translate to behold, 1hath a double signification, and that hath caused a double translation: It signifieth, first, to sing; secondly,2 to see or behold. It is translated by several in the former sense, Remember that thou magnify his work, whereof men have sang; The Chaldee Paraphrase saith, For which just men have given praise in Psalms and songs. Beholding fully a good thing, and praising it, or praising God for it, go together, as Mr Broughtons gloss expresseth it out of Ramban. Gracious and holy men do not only speak, but sing the wonderful works of God; And, that praises were in song or verse, both the Scriptures and many ancient Authors testify. God works, and men sing the praises of God for his works, as Moses, David, and Deborah did. And we find all the Saints (Rev. 15.3.) singing praises to the Lord for the great work which he will do in bringing forth Judgement to perfection upon Babylon. Thus it is a truth, the work of God is to be sung and set forth in metre, or in verse.
