“-აჰა, მშვენიერი ხარ, სატრფოვ ჩემო, აჰა, მშვენიერი ხარ! შენი თვალები ორი მტრედია შენს პირბადის ქვეშ. შენი თმა არვეა თხათა, გალაადის მთიდან დაშვებული. შენი კბილები გაპარსული ცხვარია, საბანელით ამომავალი, თითოეული ტყუბ-ტყუბად მსხმელი და ბერწი არ არის მათ შორის. შენი ბაგეები ძოწის ძაფია და შენი პირი - საამური. შენი ღაწვები ბროწეულის ლებნებია შენს პირბადის ქვეშ. შენი ყელი დავითის გოდოლია, აგებული საჭურველთათვის. ათასი ფარი ჰკიდია მასზე, ძლევამოსილთა ყოველი ფარი. ორი ძუძუ შენი ორი თიკანია ნიამორისა, მარჩბივი, მძოვარი შროშანთა შორის. შენ დაატყვევე ჩემი გული, ო, სძალო, დაო ჩემო! ერთი შეხედვით, შენი ყელსაბამის ერთი მძივით! გოლი მოსწვეთს შენს ბაგეებს, სძალო! თაფლი და რძეა შენი ენის ქვეშ; შენი სამოსელის სურნელი ლიბანის სურნელია! ბაღი ხარ დახშული, სძალო, დაო ჩემო, ჭა დაგმანული, წყარო დაბეჭდილი. შენი ნარგავები ბროწეულის ბაღია, რჩეული ნაყოფებით - ქოფერითა და ნარდიონით. -აღდეგ ჩრდილოდან, ქარო, მოვედ სამხრით, ქარო, მოჰბერე ბაღსა ჩემსა, დაე, სურნელებით ფშვენდნენ! მოვიდეს თავის ბაღში მეტრფე ჩემი და იგემოს მისი სანატრელი ხილი!”

Henry's well-known Exposition of the Old and New Testaments (1708-1710) is a commentary of a practical and devotional rather than of a critical kind, covering the whole of the Old Testament, and the Gospels and Acts in the New Testament. After the author's death, the work was finished by a number of ministers, and edited by George Burder and John Hughes in 1811. Not a work of textual criticism, its attempt at good sense, discrimination, its high moral tone and simple piety with practical application, combined with the well-sustained flow of its English style, made it one of the most popular works of its type. Matthew Henry's six volume Complete Commentary, originally published in 1706, provides an exhaustive verse by verse study of the Bible. His commentaries are still in use to this day.
