Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 25:1

O Lord, thou art my God - The prophet speaks, not in his own name, but in the name of the people that would be delivered from bondage. The sense is, that Yahweh had manifested himself as their covenant-keeping God; and that in view of his faithfulness in keeping his promises, they now had demonstration that he was their God.I will exalt thee - A form of expression often used to denote praise Psalms 118:28; Psalms 145:1, meaning that the worshipper would exalt God in the view of his own mind, or... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 25:1

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 25:1-12

24:1-27:13 FINAL JUDGMENT AND SALVATIONThe judgment of various contemporary nations leads the prophet to consider God’s final great judgment on the world. Naturally, his illustrations are taken from the world that he knew, and the nations he mentions are those of his time, but the principles of judgment and salvation that he presents are those of the unchangeable God. They will find their fullest expression in God’s mighty triumph at the end of the world’s history.Some will mourn, others... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 25:1

A PROLEPTIC SONG OF THE REDEEMEDThis chapter is a prolepsis, that is, an anticipation of the rejoicing and praise of God which the redeemed of all ages will sing. However, the song of exultation contains other tremendously significant prophecies which seem to break into the song itself, as in Isaiah 25:6-12. The three paragraphs of the chapter are: praise of God for the great things he has done (Isaiah 25:1-5), the Marriage Supper of the Lamb and the prophecy of the end of death (Isaiah... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 25:1

Isaiah 25:1. O Lord, thou art my God— The elegance of the prophet is observable in this verse, which he begins without any connecting particle or introduction; bursting out immediately into praise, upon a sight of the great deliverance spoken of in the last verse of the preceding chapter. It is commonly thought that the elders and teachers of the people are here introduced as the first speakers. Thy counsels of old, or from far, signify not only those long before taken, but also which had been... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 25:1

The prophet reflects a personal knowledge of God; he is a saved person. He exalts and thanks Yahweh his God because He supernaturally and faithfully executed the outworking of plans that He had formulated long before.The singer is probably Isaiah himself, who projected himself into the future time that he envisioned (cf. chs. 40-66). He spoke for the redeemed of that time, the beginning of the Millennium. Since Old Testament saints will be resurrected at the beginning of the Millennium (Daniel... read more
