Ver. 20. The Lord was ready to ſave] Heb. The Lord to ſave. Servati ſumus ut ſerviamus. Hezekiah was the better for his ſickneſs: God had brought health out of it, as he doth out of all his, by bringing the body of death into a conſumption.
Therefore we will ſing my ſongs] Quales quae ſo illi? ſaith Scultetus, what kind of ſongs would he ſing in the houſe of the Lord and in the hearing of all the people, as long as he bad a day to live? Surely this here recorded among and above the reſt, though it ſet forth his queritations and infirmities: Deprimunt ſe ſancti ut Deus exaltetur. The Saints gladly abaſe themſelves, if thereby God may be exalted.
