Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Isaiah 12:3

Isaiah THE WELL-SPRING OF SALVATION Isa_12:3 . There are two events separated from each other by more than fifteen hundred years which have a bearing upon this prophecy: the one supplied the occasion for its utterance, the other claimed to be its interpretation and its fulfilment. The first of these is that scene familiar to us all, where the Israelites in the wilderness murmured for want of water, and the law-giver, being at his wits’ end what to do with his troublesome charges, took his... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 12:1-6

a Song of Thanksgiving Isaiah 11:10-16 ; Isaiah 12:1-6 The prophet’s vision extends. He has seen the effect of redemption, as it emanates from Jesus Christ, upon the whole physical creation; now he beholds also the ingathering of all Israel. The ancient enmity between Ephraim and Judah would pass away. As Paul puts it afterward, “All Israel shall be saved,” Romans 11:25-26 . As they were brought out of Egypt, so shall they be brought from all the countries of the world, where they have... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 12:1-6

Here we have the songs of the people concerning the deliverances wrought by the victories of Jehovah. The first celebrates the personal blessings of the day described, while the second sets forth the gracious results to the peoples of the world issuing from the restoration of the people of God. These great and glorious prophecies are not yet fulfilled, but they are as certain of fulfillment as every word of God is sure. read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 12:2

FEARLESS TRUST‘I will trust, and not be afraid.’ Isaiah 12:2 Naturally any creature must be liable to fear. I. The great mysteries of existence have a tendency to produce fear.—(1) Has not every thoughtful mind bowed and almost trembled before the great mystery into which so many others may be resolved—the existence of evil, sin, misery, in the universe, under the government of an infinitely powerful and infinitely benevolent Being? (2) There is great mystery also about the plan of Divine... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 12

Chapter 12 A Hymn of Praise at The Consummation. This hymn is seen as being sung once the purposes of God have come to fruition. It is a hymn of triumph at what He has done. In a sense we could see it as a praise review of chapter 6-11. For the first three lines could be Isaiah’s testimony after his experience of chapter 6, when he was first of all aware of his own utter sinfulness, and then received cleansing through the mercy of God. While it also speaks of the final position of the... read more
