Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 61:10-11
I see no reason to limit this Song of joy and exultation to the Church. We shall have very blessed views of the Church's Lord and Saviour, if we accept the words as first spoken by Christ, and next as adopted by the Church, from her conscious union with Christ, and an interest in all that belongs to him. When God the Father gave Christ his Church, it is said, that it was his heart's desire, and that his glory was great in his salvation. See Psalms 21:1-6 . It is always blessed, yea, it is twice... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 61:11
REFLECTIONS BLESSED Lord Jesus! while I read this Chapter, methinks I would beg for grace and faith to be in lively exercise, that I might figure to myself, my God and Saviour, thus speaking to my soul, and to the souls of his people, in the same gracious words, as thou didst in the Jewish synagogue in the days of thy flesh. Surely the Spirit of Jehovah was upon thee then, when thou wast anointed to preach the gospel to the poor; and surely now thou hast finished redemption work, and art... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Isaiah 61:8
Holocaust. The pagans saw such things were improper victims. (Eusebius, pr'e6p. iv. 14.) --- Septuagint, "hate unjust plunder." (Haydock) --- Therefore will I subject the strangers to you, ver. 5. --- Truth. I will grant a sure reward. --- Covenant. These of Nehemias and the Machabees were soon forgotten: but Christ's covenant shall abide for ever. read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 61:4-9
4-9 Promises are here made to the Jews returned out of captivity, which extend to all those who, through grace, are delivered out of spiritual thraldom. An unholy soul is like a city that is broken down, and has no walls, like a house in ruins; but by the power of Christ's gospel and grace, it is fitted to be a habitation of God, through the Spirit. When, by the grace of God, we attain to holy indifference as to the affairs of this world; when, though our hands are employed about them, our... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 61:10-11
10,11 Those only shall be clothed with the garments of salvation hereafter, that are covered with the robe of Christ's righteousness now, and by the sanctification of the Spirit have God's image renewed upon them. These blessings shall spring forth for ages to come, as the fruits of the earth. So duly, so constantly, and with such advantage to mankind, will the Lord God cause righteousness and praise to spring forth. They shall spread far; the great salvation shall be published and proclaimed,... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 61:8
This verse seems to have no immediate connection with what went before, nor with what follows. I find, in an old Bible, the translation rendered somewhat different; For I the Lord, which love right, and hate robbery (though it were offered me) shall make their work, of faithfulness and make an everlasting covenant with them. From which reading it should seem, that what is said here, of the Lord's loving right and hating robbery, is only descriptive of his distinguishing excellencies of... read more
