will diyide the spoil: my lust shall be satisfied upon them : I will draw my sword ; my hand shall destroy them.

Thou didst blow with thy wiad, the sea covered

«them: they sank as Jead in the mighty waters.

Who is like unto thee, O Lord, amongst the gods! who is like unto thee, glorious in holiness, fearful i in praises, doing wonders !

Thou stretchedst out thy right hand; the earth swallowed them.

Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people that thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.

The people shall hear, and be afraid : sorrow shall take hold of the inhabitants of Palestina.

Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed: the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them: all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away. 5

Fear and dread shal] fall upon them: by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone, till thy people pass over, O Lord; till the people pass over, which thou hast purchased.

Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance; in the place, O Lord, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in; in the sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.

The Lord shall reign for ever and ever.

David's Lamentation over Saul and Jonathan.

Tue beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen!

Tell it not in Gath! publish it not in the streets of Askelon! lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph. :

Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, neither let there be rain upon you, nor fields of of- ferings: for there the shield of the mighty is vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, as though he had not been anointed with oil.

From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the 7 mighty, the bow of Jonathan, turned not back, and the sword of Saul returned not empty.

Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not di- vided : they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.

ea daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with other delights; who put on ornaments of gold upon your apparel.

How are the mighty fallen in the midst of battle! O Jonathan, thou wast slain in thy high places.

I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan : very pleasant hast thou been unto me: thy love to me was ae passing the love of w omen ! !
