1 ! A song of the faithful, wherein is declared, in what consisteth the saluacion of the Church, and wherein they oght to trust.
1 a This song was made to comfort the faithful, when their captiuitie shulde come, assuring them also of their deliuerance, for the which they shulde sing this song.
1 b Gods protection and defence shal be sufficient for vs.
2 c He assureth the godlie to returne after the captiuitie to Jerusalem.
3 d Thou hast decreed so, & thy purpose can not be changed.
5 e There is no power so hie, that can let God, when he wil deliuer his.
6 f God wil set the poore afflicted ouer the power of the wicked.
8 g We haue constantly abiding the aduersities where with thou hast afflicted vs. (???)
9 h Meaning that by afflictions men shal learne to feare God.
10 i The wicked thogh God shewe them euident signes of his grace, shalbe neuer the better.
11 k Through enuie & indignacion against thy people.
11 l The fyre & vengeance, wherewith thou doest destroye thine enemies.
13 m The Babylonians, which haue not gouerned according to thy worde.
14 n Meaning, that the reprobat, euen in this life shal haue the beginning of euerlasting death.
15 o To wit, the companie of the faithful by the calling of the Gentiles.
16 p That is, the faithful by thy roddes were moued to pray vnto thee for deliuerance.
17 q To wit, in extreme sorowe.
18 r Our sorowes had none end, nether did we enoye the comfort, that we loked for.
18 s The wicked and men without religion were not destroyed.
19 t He comforteth the faithful in their afflictions, shewing them that euen in death trhey shal haue life: and that they shulde moste certeinly rise to glorie: the contrarie shulde come to the wicked, as {verse 14}.
19 u As herbes, dead in winter, florish agine by the raine in the spring time: so thei that lie in the dust, shal rise vp to ioye when thei fele the dewe of Gods grace.
20 x He exhroteth the faithful to be pacient in their afflictions, and to waite vpon Gods worke.
21 y The earth shal vomit & cast out the innocent blood, which it hath drunke, that it may crye for vengeance against the wicked.
