The Doctor, from Heb. 2. 12. from the Greek word Hymneso see, I will hymn thee, i. e. I will praise thee; saith, (1.) what Christ will do, viz. He will sing Praise to God. (2.) Where he will do it, i. e. in the midst of the Congregation. The expression of both these (he saith) is accommodated unto the Declaration of God's Name, and praising of him in the Temple. The singing of Hymns of Praise unto God in the great Congregation, was then a principal part of his Worship, &c.
