"No sooner was Zacharias recovered and restored to his speech, but he sings the praises of his Redeemer, and offers up a thanksgiving to God; What it is that Zacharias makes the subject-matter of his song: what is the particular and special mercy which he praises and and blesses God for. It is not for his own private mercy; namely, the recovery of his speech, though undoubtedly he was very thankful to God for that mercy; but he blesses and praises God for universal mercies bestowed upon his people: he does not say, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, that has visited me in mercy, that has once more loosed my tongue, and restored my speech: but, "Blessed be the Lord that hath visited and redeemed his people."
