Some put a difference between that which is attributed to the Stars (taking the Stars properly) and the Angels; as if here it were spoken (signanter) by way of excellency; the Sta•s did sing, but the Angels shouted. The word rendered to shout for joy, signifies in general to make any great or loud cry, sometimes for sorrow or consternation of mind; When the army of the M• dianites, amazed wi•h Gideons stratagem of the pitchers and lamps, ran and fled, 'tis said they cried, and their cry is expressed by this word (Judges 7.21.) When an army runs, they make only ⟨p. 86⟩a confused noise or shout, for fear and sorrow. But mostly and most properly, the word signifies to shout for joy, and in a way of triumph, as when an army is victorious, and ready to divide the spoil; or as in the time of harvest or vintage, when the fruits and good things of the earth are gathered in: and such is the shouting here intended. The Angels, the Sons of God, did not only sing as the Stars, when the foundations of the Earth were laid; but they shouted for joy. It is but one word in the Hebrew, which we render, shouted for joy. The Angels did not only approve, but applaud the works of God.
