Psalms 136:10. To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn: for his mercy endureth for ever:
Yet it was an awful judgment, and it needs a reverent, lowly, saintly spirit to sing over even the judgments of God. Had certain theologians of the present time been present at the Red Sea they would have cried in sentimental sympathy over the Egyptians, but instead of that Miriam took a timbrel and said, "Sing unto the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously." The fates of sinful men are of small moment as compared with the glory of God. Jehovah filleth all things, and when the heart is fully taken up with the glory of God, it learns to sing even this stern refrain: "To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn: for his mercy endureth for ever."
