"Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto Thy name give glory, for Thy mercy, and for Thy truth's sake." Psalm 115:1. Such was the spirit that pervaded Israel's song of deliverance, and it is the spirit that should dwell in the hearts of all who love and fear God, In freeing out souls from the bondage of sin, God has wrought for us a deliverance greater than that of the Hebrews at the Red Sea. Like the Hebrew host, we should praise the Lord with heart and soul and voice for His "wonderful works to the children of men." Those who dwell upon God's great mercies, and are not unmindful of His lesser gifts, will put on the girdle of gladness and make melody in their hearts to the Lord. The daily blessings that we receive from the hand of God, and above all else the death of Jesus to bring happiness and heaven within our reach, should be a theme for constant gratitude. What compassion, what matchless love, has God shown to us, lost sinners, in connecting us with Himself, to be to Him a peculiar treasure! What a sacrifice has been made by our Redeemer, that we may be called children of God! We should praise God for the blessed hope held out before us in the great plan of redemption, we should praise Him for the heavenly inheritance and for His rich promises; praise Him that Jesus lives to intercede for us.

Denne sang og den store befrielse, som den er et minde om, gjorde et indtryk, der aldrig udslettedes af det hebraiske folks hukommelse. Fra slægt til slægt gentog Israels profeter og sangere den og vidnede om, at Gud styrker og befrier dem, der stoler på ham. Denne sang tilhører ikke det jødiske folk alene. Den peger fremad til den dag, hvor alle retfærdighedens fjender tilintetgøres, og Israels Gud vinder sin endelige sejr. Profeten på Patmos ser den hvidklædte skare, der var gået sejrende ud af kampen, stå ved et glarhav, isprængt med ild med "Guds harper i deres hænder. Og de sang Moses Guds tjeners, sang og Lammets sang". Åb. 15, 2-3.
