Hebrews 2:12 and Psalm 22 are the primary perverted
proof-text for replacing teaching with sentimental, empty, usually
erroneous "praise." Click to
read Psalm 22 including Psalm 109 concerning the musical ATTEMPT to
defeat Jesus.
Paul wrote--
For it
became
him, for whom are all
things, and by whom are all things,
in bringing many sons unto glory,
to make the captain of
their salvation perfect
through sufferings. He 2:10
For both he that sanctifieth
and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not
ashamed to call them brethren, He 2:11
Saying, I will
declare thy name unto my brethren,
in the midst of the
church will I sing praise unto thee. He 2:12
For he says in the book of
Psalms, "I will talk to
my brothers about
God my Father, and
together we will sing his praises (hymns)." He 2:12LIV
To use this as proof for exciting singing is to
totally miss the point. This is from a Psalm which begins--
MY God, my God, why
hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from
the words of my roaring (moaning) Ps 22:1
Many bulls have
surrounded Me; Strong
(chief) bulls of Bashan have encircled Me. 22:12 (along with the Cows
of Bashan in Amos)
They gape at Me with their mouths, Like a raging and roaring lion. 22:13
For dogs (male prostitutes) have surrounded Me; The
congregation of the
wicked has enclosed Me.
They pierced My hands and My feet; Ps 22:16
Save Me from the
lion's (piercing)
mouth And from the
horns of the wild oxen! You have answered Me.
Ps 22:21NKJV
The horn or coronet was a
symbol of a mountain or power. Psalm 41 prophesied that Judas would
not TRIUMPH over Jesus. This word includes "blowing wind instruments
and making a joyful noise before the Lord." This was not worship but the warrior's sounding
holocaust.
There is a
conspiracy of her
prophets in the midst
thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and
precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof.
Eze.22:25
Remember that the Jews "piped" hoping to get
Jesus to do the Dionysic choral dancing and singing. Being a male
this would mark Him out as a homosexual priest consistent with all
priesthoods. They hoped, Jesus said, that John wore the soft clothing
of a king's catamite or male homosexual.
Therefore, when the bulls MOCKED Jesus they
were doing so with the warrior music which had been organized under
David as KING and the commanders of the army to pollute or prostite
the enemy by causing their heart to melt like wax. This was
prophesied of Judas (whose bag carried the mouthpieces of wind
instruments) in Psalm 41. The translations
found at the Dead See make it clear
that the TRIUMPH OVER or MOCKING of Jesus was with military
instruments alluded to in 1 Corinthians 14 to define singing
self-composed songs in their own virtually unknown dialect.
Here
is how they mocked Jesus.
The strong bulls were the
chief priests. The lifted themselves up above Christ--
Reem
(h7214) reh-ame'; from 7213; a wild bull (from its conspicuousness):
- unicorn
Raam
(h7213) raw-am'; a prim. root; to rise: - be lifted up.
They gaped or tore at Him with their mouths.
They tore pieces from Him off. The raging is very similar to the
words associated with external melody--
Tarap
(h2963) taw-raf'; a prim. root; to pluck off or pull to pieces; causat. to supply with food (as in
morsels): - catch, * without doubt, feed, ravin, rend in pieces, *
surely, tear (in pieces).
SOP is: psocho
(g5597) pso'-kho; prol. from the same base as 5567; to triturate,
i.e. (by anal.) to rub out (kernels from husks with the fingers or
hand): - rub.
Psocho
(g5597) pso'-kho; prol. from the same base as 5567; to
triturate, i.e. (by anal.) to rub out (kernels from husks with
the fingers or hand): - rub.
Psallo (g5567) psal'-lo; prob. strengthened
from psaoÑ , (to rub or touch the surface; comp. 5597); to
twitch or
twang, i.e. to play on
a stringed instrument (celebrate the divine worship with music and
accompanying odes): - make melody, sing (psalms)
The musical clergy of paganism and even Judaism
was highly infiltrated with homosexual priest-musicians practicing
what is called "the effeminate art." The congregation where Jesus
would preach and praise God was the synagogues because there were no
Christian congregations. Jesus went there to witness against the raging
bulls.
I am poured out
like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart has turned to
wax; it has melted away within me. Ps 22:14
He speaks as one spread on the wheel or drum
frame. They stretched your hide on the frame and used the baton to
beat you to death--
Tumpanizo (g5178) toom-pan-id'-zo; from a der. of 5180 (mean,
a drum, 'tympanum"); to stretch on an instrument of torture
resembling a drum, and thus beat to death: - torture. (Vine says it
was the tyre typanum).
This described the women who were tortured just
as Jesus must have been to have His bones out of joint:
Women received back
their dead, raised to life again. Others were tortured and refused to be released, so that they might gain
a better resurrection. He 11:35
And others had
trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and
imprisonment: He 11:36
Read the account of
this literal torturing by making men like the stretched hide on a
drum frame. Then they took a "rod" or "baton" and beat them to
death.
Mocking is
from the Greek--
Empaigmos (g1701) emp-aheeg-mos'; from 1702: derision: -
mocking.
Empaizo (g1702) emp-aheed'-zo; from 1722 and 3815; to jeer
at, i.e. deride: - mock.
Clapping of hands was a
primary show of contempt. In Hebrew it is used for blowing a trumpet
to create the startle reflex, or to driving a tent peg into the head
of a sleeping man.
Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus
into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of
soldiers. Mt 27:27
And they
stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. Mt 27:28
and then twisted
together a crown of thorns and set it on his head. They put a staff
in his right hand and knelt
in front of him and mocked
him. "Hail, king of the Jews!" they said. Mt.27:29
Mocked is what they may be doing in your own
church as Christ is mocked by singing those songs which He did not
inspire and which -- almost always -- teach lies about Him. Play or
mock is:
Paizo
(g3815) paheed'-zo; from 3816; to sport as a boy: - play.
Paul warned the Corinthians that they were
close to the musical play which destroyed Israel at Mount Sinai when
they "rose up to play." This is defined as singing and sporting with
musical instruments.
Neither be ye
idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat
down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
1Co.10:7
And David and all the house of
Israel played (7832) before the Lord on all manner of instruments
made of fir wood, even on harps, and on psalteries, and on timbrels,
and on cornets, and on cymbals. 2S 6:5
Paidion (g3813) pahee-dee'-on; neut. dimin. of 3816; a
childling (of either sex), i.e. (prop.) an infant, or (by extens.) a
half- grown boy or girl; figurative: an immature Christian..
They are like unto children
sitting (hanging out) in the marketplace, and calling one to another,
and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have
mourned to you, and ye have not wept. Lk 7:32
Brethren, be not
children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in
understanding be men. 1Co.14:20
The Jewish clergy were repeating ancient
fertility rituals which had become games of play. By forcing Jesus to
lament (as in lamenting for Bacchus or Dionysus--see Eph 5:18-18)
they would triumph over Him and implicate Him in a pagan ritual. This would
surely disqualify Him as the Messiah of Whom it was predicted that He
would not get involved in these street rituals. Those who tried to
force Jesus to join (including Judas) were the ministers of the high
priest. This, of course, involved women who accused Peter:
Pais
(g3816) paheece; perh. from 3817; a boy (as often beaten with
impunity), or (by anal.) a girl, and (gen.) a child; spec. a slave or
servant (espec. a minister to a king; and by eminence to God): -
child, maid (-en), (man) servant, son, young man.
The bulls were not literal and therefore the
horns of these "chief bulls" are not literal animal horns. Rather,
the horns were the "wind instruments" by which the clergy, and Judas
their agent, would try to triumph over Jesus. They are defined as--
Qeren (h7161) keh'-ren; from 7160; a horn (as projecting);
by impl. a flask, cornet;
by resemblance, an elephant's tooth...
Qeren (g7162) keh'-ren; corresp. to 7161; a
horn literal or for
sound: - horn,
cornet.
This word is used in Daniel where the
Babylonian clergy tried to triumph over the faithful Jews--
That at what time
ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery,
dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the
golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up: Da.3:5
The golden image, of course, was a giant
phallic (penis) form. To fall into this form of worship was to be
polluted or prostituted.
Paul replaced the Old Testament halal whichwas
very often self-praise or even madness with hymning or praying to
Him.
Paul does not say that Jesus will jump, shout,
clap or be giddy as an Old Testament form of praise. Rather, He will
"grieve out" or teach the Word without allowing Himself to get out of
control and have Satan triumph over Him-
Apalgeo
(g524) ap-alg-eh'-o; from 575 and Algeo ,
to smart; to grieve out, i.e. become apathetic (can mean calm or
unperturbed or past feeling)
That is what David understood.
He also understood that his writing, singing and playing was not
PATTERNISM for either Hebrew of Christian "worship" which is
internal:
Create in me a clean (holy)
heart, O God;
and renew a right (upright) spirit within me.
Ps.51:10
Do not cast me from
your
presence or take your
holy
spirit from
me. Ps 51:11
There is no man
that hath power over the
spirit to retain the
spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no
discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that
are given to it. Ecc 8:8
The sacrifices of God are a
broken
spirit: a broken and a
contrite
heart, O God,
thou wilt not despise. Ps.51:17
In Psa 22:22 the word praise means "boast about
God" but the Jews often praised by boasting of themselves. In a
parallel statement, praise is t˙hillaÇh and means to laud God
with a hymn. This word removes of all of the destructive meanings of
halal. The statements of Jesus are often quoted from the Septuagint
which translates a clearer message--
I will
declare (announce, tell) thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation
will I praise (humneso) thee. Ps 22:22
Ye that
fear (cringe before) the Lord, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him;
and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel. Ps 22:23
There is nothing in this to
permit the madness of children playing musical games or "making a
joyful noise before the Lord" which was a warrior's chant in all
national armies: "My god is stronger than your god."
Believers SHRINK BEFORE GOD
because of a hostile word but worship by going into the Most Holy
place of darkness and silence were one priest at a time comes boldly
before the throne of God in the mind or spirit.
Declare is:
Apagello (g518) ap-ang-el'-lo; from 575 and the base of 32;
to announce: - bring word (again), declare, report, shew
(again), tell.
Aggelos
(g32) ang'-el-os; from aggello, [prob. der. from 71; comp. 34] (to
bring tidings); a messenger; esp. an "angel";
by impl. a pastor: - angel, messenger
This does not mean to
entertain but to do the work of an evangelist
Euaggelizo (g2097) yoo-ang-ghel-id'-zo; from 2095 and 32; to
announce good news ("evangelize") espec. the
gospel: - declare, bring
(declare, show) glad (good) tidings, preach (the gospel).
Sing is:
Apalgeo
(g524) ap-alg-eh'-o; from 575 (to smart); to grieve out, i.e. become apathetic: - be past feeling
Anah (g578) aw-naw'; a prim. root; to
groan: - lament,
mourn.
Charismatic singing attracts
those seeking ENTERTAINMENT but Christian singing is done in holy
reverence before a God Who will not tolerate being mocked by being a
MODEL or IDOL of what worship should be by singing their own songs
with the MARK of brass on their FOREHEAD.
For he hath not despised nor
abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his
face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard. Ps 22:24
My praise shall be
of thee in the great
congregation: I will
pay my
vows before them that
fear him. Ps 22:25
The meek (poor in
mind, gentle) shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the Lord
that seek him: your heart shall live for ever. Ps 22:26
The meek such as Paul praised in the sense of
making a fool of himself as he went out to try to teach the seed of
Jacob. To praise is to tell what God has done in God's words. Then,
All the ends of the
world shall remember and turn unto the Lord: and all the kindreds of
the nations shall worship
before thee. Psalm 22:27
Shachah
(h7812) shaw-khaw'; a prim. root; to depress, i. e. prostrate (espec.
reflex. in homage to royalty or God): - bow (self) down,
crouch, fall down
(flat), humbly beseech,
do (make) obeisance, do reverence, make to stoop, worship.
PLEASE DON'T TRY TO DO THIS AS A LEGALISTIC
ACT OF WORSHIP FOR 20 SECONDS ON SUNDAY MORNING.
This is fulfilled by Jesus in
Capernaum--
And they went into
Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into
the synagogue, and taught.
Mk 1:21
And they were
astonished at his
doctrine: for he taught
them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes. Mk 1:22
And there was in their
synagogue a man with an
unclean spirit; and
he cried
out, Mk 1:23
Saying, Let us
alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou
come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. Mk
1:24
This proved that He was their Messiah Who could
do what all of the singing, dancing, drum thumping and harp playing
could not do. He literally cast our a demon. However, they never
changed their minds to murder Him.
Judas, as Satan's agent, will not triumph
over Jesus--
Psalm 109 and 41 are prophetic of Judas as
Satan standing at Christ's right hand. Judas as Satan's agent would
attack Jesus in ways we do not completely understand. However, Judas
would not triumph over Jesus as Israel was not to triumph over the
Word of God--
All that hate me
whisper together against me: against me do they
devise my hurt. Ps 41:7
WHISPER speaks of the
hissing of the brass-colored serpent or Nachash which was not a snake
but a musicah enchanter.
An evil disease, say they,
cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he lieth he shall rise up no
more. Ps 41:8
Yea,
mine own familiar
friend, in whom I
trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against
me. Ps 41:9
But thou, O Lord, be merciful
unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them. Ps 41:10
By this I know that
thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me. Ps
41:11
To triumph over in
Greek carries the same idea. It means a
noisy song sung to "frighten the enemy" (or congregation) and to "set
them on fire." The purpose was to excite the army and panic the enemy
to gain victory over them. Noisy music has this exact purpose and
effect even when it sounds "exciting"--
Thriambeuo (g2358) three-am-byoo'-o; from a prol. comp. of "to
frighten" and "to fasten to set on fire." meaning a noisy iambus, sung in honor of
Bacchus); to make an
acclamatory procession, i.e. (fig.) to conquer or (by Hebr.) to give
victory: - (cause) to triumph (over).
Scholars believe that Judas was trying to
"panic" Jesus into taking up His role as military leader to triumph
over the Roman army. It is interesting, therefore, that the bag which
Judas, the thief of Satan, carried was the mouthpiece bag or box
which, in the Classics, is never seen except along with the flute,
the flute bag and the naked musician:
Glossokomon (g1100) gloce-sok'-om-on; a case to keep mouthpieces
of wind-instruments in) i.e. by extension, a casket or (spec.) purse:
- bag.
This is derived from the words meaning:
1. Speaking in tongues and
2. Of the adorning world or kosmos (Satan's
realm)
This word is related to the Greek which
illustrates what the triumph condemned and the triumph over which
would not work on Jesus. The following words are connected to the
work of Judas. The method of the world religion is shown in a word
from which kosmos is derived--
Chathath (g2865) khaw-thath'; to prostrate; hence to break
down, either (lit.) by violence, or (fig.) by confusion and fear: -
abolish, affright, be (make) afraid, amaze, beat down, discourage,
(cause to) dismay, go down, scare, terrify.
Music has always been a way to triumph over
others either religiously, sexually or especially in the heat of
battle. When the clergy Levites and priests blew and "stormed" upon
hundreds of zithers it created a booming, clainging, hissing sound
like an innumerable host of warriors. The thing to do would be to
turn tail and retreate because of panic.
Judas was the agent of Satan's who is the world
ruler--
Kosmokrator (2888) kos-mok-rat'-ore; a world-ruler, an epithet
of Satan: - ruler.
He uses his hand or agent to take told of
mankind with power--
Krateo
(g2902) krat-eh'-o; from 2904; to use strength, i.e. seize or retain
(lit. or fig.): - hold (by, fast), keep, lay hand (hold) on, obtain,
retain, take (by).
John accused the Jews with being vipers. This
is the literal snake while Satan is the enemy.
But when he saw
many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto
them, O generation of vipers,
who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Mt 3:7
Jesus accused them of the same thing.
O generation of
vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the
abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. Mt 12:34
The viper which represents Satan is connected
to a word meaning "possessed by" a spirit: a soothsayer--
And it came to
pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit
of divination (python
spirit) met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying
(raving madness as in Corinth): Ac 16:16
Ezekiel spoke of Hebrews who looked to God and
Ezekiel as the musical revealer of new things from the "gods." This
was almost identical to those who tried to triumph over Jesus to
force Him to dance to their tune--
|
My people come to you, as they usually do, and
sit before you to listen to your words, but they do not put
them into practice. With their mouths they express devotion
(Lord, Lord as amorousness - inordinate love), but their
hearts are greedy for unjust gain (commerce or trade). Eze
33:31
|
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. Mt
11:15
|
|
Indeed, to them you are nothing more than one
who sings love songs (minstrel as a
prostitute) with a beautiful voice and plays an instrument
well,
|
And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have
not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not
lamented. Mt 11:17
|
|
for they hear your words but do not put them
into practice. Eze 33:32
|
But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It
is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling
unto their fellows, Mt 11:16
|
|
When all this comes true--and it surely
will--then they will know that a prophet has been among
them." Eze 33:33
|
Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein
most of his mighty works were done, because they repented
not: Mt 11:20
|
Jesus Will Not Call Noisy
Assemblies
Jesus
is not a soothsayer or worker of magic at the demand of the
"worshipper." He refused to follow in the paths of those who sounded
trumpets to show how generous they were. And He refused to call mass
meetings by loud excitement. Rather, He went out where the people may
have gathered.
Isaiah prophesied of Messiah--
BEHOLD my servant,
whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my
spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. Is
42:1
He shall not
cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
Is 42:2
To "cry" is to call an assembly--
Caaq,
tsaw-ak'; to shriek; by implication; to proclaim an assembly: call together, cry out, gather selves together.
Nor will He lift up--
Nasa
(h5375) naw-saw'; to lift, able to armour, bring forth, burn, carry
away, exalt self, extol, hold up, lade, lift self up, marry, magnify,
stir up, take away...
Every
branch in me that beareth not fruit he
taketh
away: and every branch
that beareth fruit, he purgeth
it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Jn.15:2
Airo
(h142) ah'ee-ro; a prim. verb; to lift; by impl. to take up or away;
fig. to raise (the voice), keep in suspense (the mind); spec. to sail away (i.e. weigh anchor);
by Heb. [comp. 5375] to expiate sin: - away with, bear (up), carry,
lift up, loose, make to doubt, put away, remove, take (away, up).
The Hebew word NASA means to
be lifted up:
And it shall come
to pass in the day that the Lord shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the
hard
bondage wherein thou
wast made to serve,
Isaiah 14:3
That thou shalt take up this
proverb against the king
of Babylon, and say,
How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased! Isaiah 14:4
The Lord hath broken the staff
of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers. Isaiah 14:5
He who smote the people in
wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted,
and none hindereth. Isaiah 14:6
This word is similar to the "praise" with
instruments in many psalms.
Halal,
haw-lal'; make sound, to shine; hence to make a show, to boast; and
thus to be clamorously (brassy) foolish; to rave, to celebrate; make
boast of self, celebrate, commend, glory, feign self mad, give in
marriage, be worthy of praise, rage, renowned, shine.
Psalm 22 above forsaw this as teaching the Word
and not a collective sign of insanity.
Music was often used "to call the gods to their
temples." This is illustrated by the priests of Asherah and Baal who
tried to "arouse" their gods to defeat the God of Elijah. However,
God is in His holy temple (His people), He has taught and our task is
to come before Him in reverence to hear what He has to say--
Woe unto him that
saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach
Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no breath
at all in the midst of it. Hab 2:19
But the Lord is in
his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence (hold the tongue)
before him. Hab 2:20
In the end, Jesus would triumph over His
enemies:
For the kingdom is
the Lords: and he is the governor among the nations. Psa 22:28
All they that be
fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the
dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul. Psa
22:29
Psalm 22
Words: The Scottish Psalter
1 My God, my God, why hast thou me
forsaken? why so far
Art thou from helping me, and from
my words that roaring are?
2 All day, my God, to thee I cry,
yet am not heard by thee;
And in the season of the night
I cannot silent be.
3 But thou art holy, thou that dost
inhabit Isr'el's praise.
4 Our fathers hop'd in thee, they hop'd
and thou didst them release.
5 When unto thee they sent their cry,
to them deliv'rance came:
Because they put their trust in thee,
they were not put to shame.
6 But as for me, a worm I am,
and as no man am priz'd:
Reproach of men I am, and by
the people am despis'd.
7 All that me see laugh me to scorn;
shoot out the lip do they;
They nod and shake their heads at me,
and, mocking, thus do say,
8 This man did trust in God, that he
would free him by his might:
Let him deliver him, sith he
had in him such delight.
9 But thou art he out of the womb
that didst me safely take;
When I was on my mother's breasts
thou me to hope didst make.
10 And I was cast upon thy care,
ev'n from the womb till now;
And from my mother's belly, Lord,
my God and guide art thou.
11 Be not far off, for grief is near,
and none to help is found.
12 Bulls many compass me, strong bulls
of Bashan me surround.
13 Their mouths they open'd wide on me,
upon me gape did they,
Like to a lion ravening
and roaring for his prey.
14 Like water I'm pour'd out, my bones
all out of joint do part:
Amidst my bowels, as the wax,
so melted is my heart.
15 My strength is like a potsherd dry'd;
my tongue it cleaveth fast
Unto my jaws; and to the dust
of death thou brought me hast.
16 For dogs have compass'd me about:
the wicked, that did meet
In their assembly, me inclos'd;
they pierc'd my hands and feet.
17 I all my bones may tell; they do
upon me look and stare.
18 Upon my vesture lots they cast,
and clothes among them share.
19 But be not far, O Lord, my strength;
haste to give help to me.
20 From sword my soul, from pow'r of dogs
my darling set thou free.
21 Out of the roaring lion's mouth
do thou me shield and save:
For from the horns of unicorns
an ear to me thou gave.
22 I will shew forth thy name unto
those that my brethren are;
Amidst the congregation
thy praise I will declare.
23 Praise ye the Lord, who do him fear;
him glorify all ye
The seed of Jacob: fear him all
that Isr'el's children be.
24 For he despis'd not nor abhorr'd
th' afflicted's misery;
Nor from him hid his face, but heard
when he to him did cry.
25 Within the congregation great
my praise shall be of thee;
My vows before them that him fear
shall be perform'd by me.
26 The meek shall eat, and shall be fill'd;
they also praise shall give
Unto the Lord that do him seek:
your heart shall ever live.
27 All ends of th' earth remember shall,
and turn the Lord unto;
All kindreds of the nations
to him shall homage do:
28 Because the kingdom to the Lord
doth appertain as his;
Likewise among the nations
the Governor he is.
29 Earth's fat ones eat, and worship shall:
all who to dust descend
Shall bow to him; none of them can
his soul from death defend.
30 A seed shall service do to him;
unto the Lord it shall
Be for a generation
reckon'd in ages all.
31 They shall come, and they shall declare
his truth and righteousness
Unto a people yet unborn,
and that he hath done this.
