This song was stamped upon the memory of the Jews. It was sung at every Sabbath evening service in the synagogue. At every Jewish service, the recital of the Shema, the Jewish confession of faith, was followed by two prayers—it still is—and one of these prayers refers to this song: ‘True it is that you are Yahweh our God, and the God of our fathers, our King, and the King of our fathers, our Saviour, and the Saviour of our fathers, our Creator, the Rock of our Salvation, our Help and our Deliverer. Your name is from everlasting, and there is no God beside you. A new song did they that were delivered sing to your name by the seashore; together did all praise and own thee King, and say, Yahweh shall reign, world without end! Blessed be the Lord who saves Israel.’
