TIS an Hymn for the Jewish Nation, gathered from its Dispersion, and confessing the Miracles which the Messiah performs for their Deliverance.
We have it several times over, Then in their trouble they do cry unto the ETERNAL God; But we do not find it said so much as once, upon their Deliverances, then they praised the Lord for His Goodness. No, that matter always comes in with a Let Men confess. Alas, Tis to be Desired that they would; hardly to be supposed, that they will.
