Rejoice, O ye nations, with His people - Some prefer the marginal rendering. In this profound passage, there is shadowed forth the purpose of God to overrule: (1) the unbelief of the Jews to the bringing in of the Gentiles; and (2) the mercy shown to the Gentries to the eventual restoration of the Jews (compare Romans 11:25-36). The Song closes as it began Deuteronomy 32:1-3, with an invitation to praise. It has reached, through a long series of divine interpositions, its grandest theme in this call to the Gentiles, now pagan no more, to rejoice over God’s restored people, the Jews. return to 'Top of Page'
