From — From all the parts of the earth in which the Jews are or shall be. Songs — Of joy and praise. Glory — Or, glory be to the righteous. The Lord, the righteous one. But — In the midst of these joyful tidings, I discern something which gives me cause of lamentation. My leanness — I faint and pine away for grief, for the following reason. Treacherously — The Jews, who have been frequently guilty of great perfidiousness towards God, are now acting the same part.

He repeats it to shew the horridness of the crime.
