Ps. 78:55. He cast out the gentiles (a pl.) also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents. 62. He gave his nation (y sing.) over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance. 71. From following the ewes great with young, he brought him to feed Jacob his nation (y sing.), and Israel his inheritance. 79: 1. O God, the gentiles (a pl.) are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem in heaps. 6. Pour out thy wrath upon the gentiles ( pl.) that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name. 10. Wherefore should the gentiles (a pl.) say, Where is their God? let him be known among the gentiles ( pl.) in our sight by the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed. 13. So we thy nation (y sing.) and sheep of thy pasture, will give thee thanks for ever; we will shew forth thy praise to all generations. 80: 4. O Lord God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry with the prayer of thy nation (y sing.)? 8. Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt; thou hast cast out the gentiles (pl.), and planted it. 81: 8. Hear, O my nation (y sing.) and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me; 11. But my nation (y sing.) would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me. 13. O that my nation (y sing.) had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways! 82: 8. Arise, O God, judge the earth; for thou shalt inherit all' gentiles ( pl.). 83: 3. They have taken crafty counsel against thy nation (y sing.) and consulted against thy hidden ones. 4. They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation (sing.); that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. 85: 2. Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy nation (y sing.), thou hast covered all their sin. 6. Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy nation (y sing.) may rejoice in thee? 8. I will hear what God the Lord will speak: for he will speak peace unto his nation (y sing.), and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly. 86: 9. All gentiles (pl.) whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name. 87 6. The Lord shall count, when he writeth up the gentiles (y pl.) that this man was born there. 89:15. Blessed is the nation (y sing.) that knoweth the joyful sound: they shall walk, O Lord, in the light of thy countenance. 5-Or, "nations," including Jews. 6 Or, "nations," including Jews. 7 Or, "nations." Ps. 89:19. Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the nation (y sing.). 50. Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty gentiles (y pl.); 94: 5. They break in pieces thy nation (y sing.), O Lord, and afflict thine heritage. 8. Understand, ye brutish among the nation (y sing.): and ye fools, when will ye be wise? 10. He that chastiseth the gentiles (a pl.), shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know? 14. For the Lord will not cast off his nation (y sing.), neither will he forsake his inheritance. 95: 7. For he is our God; and we are the nation (y sing.) of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To-day if ye will hear his voice,... 10. Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a nation (sing.) that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways: 96: 3. Declare his glory among the gentiles ( pl.), his wonders among all gentiles (y pl.). 5. For all the gods of the gentiles (v pl.) are idols: but the Lord made the heavens. 7. Give unto the Lord, O ye kindreds of the gentiles (y pl.), give unto the Lord glory and strength. 10. Say among the gentiles ( pl.) that the Lord reigneth; the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved; he shall judge the gentiles (v pl.) righteously. 13. ...before the Lord: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the gentiles (y pl.) with his truth. 97: 6. The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the gentiles (v pl.) see his glory. 98: 2. The Lord hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly showed in the sight of the gentiles (a pl.) 9. ...before the Lord; for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the gentiles (y pl.) with equity. 99: 1. The Lord reigneth; let the gentiles (y pl.) tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved. 2. The Lord is great in Zion; and he is high above all the gentiles (v pl.) 100: 3. Know ye that the Lord he is God; it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his nation (y sing.), and the sheep of his pasture. 102:15. So the gentiles ( pl.) shall fear the name of the Lord, and all the kings of the earth thy glory. 18. This shall be written for the generation to come: and the nation (sing.) which shall be created shall praise the Lord. 22. When the gentiles (v pl.) are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the Lord. 105: 1. O give thanks unto the Lord; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the gentiles (y pl.). 8 Or, possibly, "people," may be preferable. Ps. 105:13. When they went from one nation (sing.) to another (♫ sing.), from one kingdom to another nation (y sing.) 20. The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the gentiles (y pl.), and let him go free. 24. And he increased his nation (y sing.) greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies. 25. He turned their heart to hate his nation (y sing.), to deal subtilly with his servants. 40. The nation' asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven. 43. And he brought forth his (y sing.) nation with joy, and his chosen with gladness. 44. And gave them the lands of the gentiles (pl.): and they inherited the labour of the gentiles (pl.); 106: 4. Remember me, O Lord, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy nation (v sing.): O visit me with thy salvation; 5. That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation (y sing.), that I may glory with thine inheritance. 27. To overthrow their seed also among the gentiles (› pl.), and to scatter them in the lands. 34. They did not destroy the gentiles (y pl.), concerning whom the Lord commanded them: 35. But were mingled among the gentiles ( pl.), and learned their works. 40. Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled against his nation (y sing.), insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance. 41. And he gave them into the hand of the gentiles (≥ pl.); and they that hated them ruled over them. 47. Save us, O Lord our God, and gather us from among the gentiles ( pl.), to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise. 48. Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting and let all the nation (y sing.) say, Amen. Praise ye the Lord. : 107:32. Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the nation (y sing.), and praise him in the assembly of the elders. 108: 3. I will praise thee, O Lord, among the gentiles (y pl.): and I will sing praises to thee among the gentiles (y pl.). 110: 3. Thy nation (sing.) shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth. 6. He shall judge among the gentiles (pl.), he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries. 111: 6. He hath showed his nation (y sing) the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the gentiles (pl.). 9. He sent redemption unto his nation (y sing.): he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name. 113: 4. The Lord is high above all gentiles ( pl.), and his glory above the heavens. 8. That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his nation (y sing.). 9 "The nation" here has no word to represent it in the Hebrew.-ED Ps. 114: 1. When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a nation (y sing.) of strange language; 115: 2. Wherefore should the gentiles (a pl.) say, Where is now their God? 116:14. I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his nation (y sing.). 18. I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his nation (y sing.) 117: 1. O praise the Lord, all ye gentiles (a pl.): praise him, all ye gentiles.10 118:10. All gentiles ( pl.) encompassed me about: but in the name of the Lord will I destroy them. 125: 2. As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his nation (v sing.) from henceforth even for ever. 126: 2. Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing then said they among the gentiles (a pl.), the Lord hath done great things for them. : 135:10. Who smote great gentiles (pl.), and slew mighty kings. 12. And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his nation (y sing.) 14. For the Lord will judge his nation (y sing.), and repent himself concerning his servants. 15. The idols of the gentiles ( pl.) are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. 136:16. To him who led his nation (y sing.) through the wilderness: for his mercy endureth for ever. 144: 2. My goodness and my fortress; my high tower and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my nation (y sing.) under me. 15. Happy is that nation (y sing.) that is in such a case: yea, happy is that nation (y sing.) whose God is the Lord. 147:20. He hath not dealt so with any nation (a sing.): and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the Lord. 148:11. Kings of the earth, and all gentiles (pl.); princes, and all judges of the earth: 14. He also exalteth the horn of his nation (y sing.), the praise of all his saints, even of the children of Israel, a nation (y sing.) near unto him. Praise ye the Lord. 149: 4. For the Lord taketh pleasure in his nation (y sing.): he will beautify the meek with salvation. 7. To execute vengeance upon the gentiles ( pl.), and punishments upon the gentiles ( pl.); 10 The word in this place is another word, not one of the three under review, viz., D'EN or in it only occurs here and in Genesis xxv. 16., "twelve princes according to their nations;" and in Numbers xxv. 15., "head over a people."-ED. The Editor suggests that in Ps. vii. 8 and Ps. ix. 20 the word rendered "God" should be as in the authorised version, "Lord." In noticing the omission of the word "Selah" from this paper, he would avail himself of the opportunity to remark that Jerome renders the word "Selah" by SEMPER, i. e. always; Comm: vol. i v. 49 No. II. THE CANDLESTICK. To any soul quickened into life through Christ Jesus (risen from the death due to us), and thus and then united to Him,-must be deeply interesting, the path and service he may observe to be well-pleasing to the Lord; and not only so, but also, the definite testimony which he, in common with his fellow-partakers in this life, as members in the one body, should pursue here, as expressive of the reality and blessedness of union with the Head. I need scarcely remark that, until our own individual interests are assured to us in the Lord, we shall have no heart or power to be interested for His glory in the Church, or for the members of it. A true servant must be un-selfish. Until peace keeps my heart and mind, "the Apostles' course is little regarded by me" (Phil. iv. 9), and the source of the peace is imperfectly known to me. But to one from whom the pathetic appeal of Jesus "Lovest thou Me," can awaken the same plain, earnest response as it did from Peter,-it must be a subject of no small moment, how he may prove his love, according to the word, in feeding and caring for (and both are implied) the sheep,-objects of the love of Christ. Love to the Lord Jesus is the great ability and qualification wanting to most for such service. The service is feeding and caring for: no political movement, no amelioration of the propensities of our nature can ever reach to the deep and important and personal interest expressed by "feeding and caring for." If we love, let us show our love. Dear to Christ Jesus is the feeding and caring for the sheep, and not less can satisfy the heart that loves Him. The Church should be of things on earth, our sole interest and service. St. Paul could say-I fill up that which is behind of the sufferings of Christ, in my flesh, for His body's sake which is the Church; and again, I endure all things for the elects' sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in |
