Isaiah 42:12 KJV,ASV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 42:5-12

Here is I. The covenant God made with and the commission he gave to the Messiah, Isa. 42:5-7, which are an exposition of Isa. 42:1; Behold my servant, whom I uphold. 1. The royal titles by which the great God here makes himself known, and distinguishes himself from all pretenders, speak very much his glory (Isa. 42:5): Thus saith God the Lord. And who are thou, Lord? Why, he is the fountain of all being and therefore the fountain of all power. He is the fountain of being, 1. In the upper... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 42:12

Let them give glory unto the Lord ,.... For all the great and good things he has done for them, in sending his Gospel to them, calling them by his grace, enlightening their minds, and revealing his Son in them, and making them partakers of the blessings of his grace, and entitling them to eternal glory and happiness: and declare his praise in the islands ; as on the western continent, and the isles of it; so on the eastern continent, and the islands of it, the islands of Greece, the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 42:9-17

ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE COMING DELIVERANCE OF ISRAEL FROM BABYLON , AND CALL ON THE NATIONS FOR A SONG OF PRAISE AND JUBILATION . Jehovah is still the speaker. He begins by promising a new revelation ( Isaiah 42:9 ). Then, before the revelation is made, he calls upon the nations—especially those in the vicinity of Palestine—to rejoice at what is about to happen ( Isaiah 42:10-12 ). After this he proceeds to make the announcement promised in Isaiah 42:9 ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 42:10-12

The duty of sympathizing with the joys of others. Compassion for those who suffer is a strong and powerful feeling, well developed in human nature, and widely spread among all classes and conditions of men. A real feeling of glad sympathy with those who are exceptionally prosperous is a far rarer emotion, and seldom attains any great intensity. Yet, in the nature of things, the two duties would seem to be co-ordinate and to balance each other. "Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 42:10-25

A new song to Jehovah. Caught up in his ecstasy to a high place of vision, the prophet sees all the nations of mankind deriving blessing from the ministry of Israel, and calls upon them to join in a song of praise. God's goodness in providing a Redeemer demands the thanksgiving of all the world. I. THE SONG AND THE SINGERS . The new song is named in the Psalter ( Psalms 96:1 ; Psalms 98:1 ), meaning a song inspired by the sense of new mercies. All parts of the earth are to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 42:12

Let them give glory unto the Lord … in the islands ; i.e. "let those who are in the islands," or the maritime tracts, "give glory to God"—a repetition of the last clause of Isaiah 42:10 . The persistency with which the islands, or the maritime tracts of the west, are mentioned ( Isaiah 41:1 , Isaiah 41:5 ; Isaiah 42:10 , Isaiah 42:12 ; Isaiah 49:1 , etc.) may perhaps be accounted for by the fact that Christianity was to obtain its earliest and its most enduring triumphs in... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 42:10-12

Isaiah 42:10 ; Isaiah 42:12 . Sing unto the Lord a new song Upon this new and great occasion, the salvation of the world by Christ. It is with peculiar propriety and elegance that the nations are here called upon and exhorted to praise and extol Jehovah, for the singular blessing conferred upon them by the gospel. And his praise from the end of the earth All nations, from one end of the earth to another. Ye that go down to the sea You that go by sea, carry these glad tidings from... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 42:1-25

Success and failure of God’s servant (42:1-25)In the previous chapter the servant of Yahweh was identified with Israel (see 41:8). Israel is probably again the servant who is identified here, but the ideals outlined in this song never became a reality in the nation. They did, to some extent, characterize the faithful remnant, but they found their perfect expression only in the one who embodied the ideals God desired, Jesus Christ. The prophet foresees that this servant of Yahweh, though... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 42:10-12

Isaiah 42:10-12. Sing unto the Lord, &c.— The nations are here, in the most elegant manner, exhorted to praise and extol Jehovah, for the singular blessing conferred upon them, by calling them to his truth, and enlightening them with his grace. There is nothing difficult in the passage, though it will be greatly illustrated by Psalms 96:11; Psalms 97:1; Isaiah 35:10; Isaiah 49:13. read more
