      performed his promise.  Scott, who quotes the following from
      Bp. Patrick:  "They did not return every man to his own home;
      but first went back to Jerusalem, to bless the Lord again for
      hearing their prayer and making good his promises."
    
    - blessed.

     - with psalteries.
      Instead of celebrating his own heroism or the valour of his
      troops on this memorable occasion, this excellent prince sung
      with his whole army the praises of Jehovah, the God of hosts,
      who disposes of the victory according to his pleasure.  This
