which are written, from the creation of the world.

which he has made unto his children;

and for this cause the prophet has written these things.

for they still wait for the coming of the Messiah.

But my salvation shall be forever,

and my righteousness shall not be abolished.

the waters of the great deep;

that hath made the depths of the sea a way

for the ransomed to pass over?
