Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 12:1-6

Isaiah 12:2 . JEHOVAH is my strength. Lowth reads, Lord, as in the English; but in the Hebrew book, Sepher Ikkarim, we read, “The scriptures call the Messiah JAH or JAOH, our righteousness; indicating that he will be the mediatorial Lord, by whom we shall obtain justification, from the name; which is indeed the name of the NAME, or the essential name of God.” By the Name this author means JEHOVAH, which the Jews in their exile do not pronounce, but substitute in reading the name Adonai or... read more

Isaiah 12:2Behold, God is my salvationRejoicing in GodThese words are used by the prophet, in the name of the Church, to set forth the happiness and salvation of the Jews when they shall be gathered in with the fulness of the Gentiles.They also express the experience of a believer--I. WITH RESPECT TO HIS MORAL STATE. “God is my salvation.” Some would have the aid, the consolation, and the favour of God, but refuse His salvation, and remain in sin. This, however, is vain and impossible. The... read more

Isaiah 12:3Therefore with Joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvationDrawing water from the wells of salvationThe Talmudists refer the words, “With joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation,” to the custom of making an oblation of water on the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles.But as it is not prescribed in the law of Moses, it has been doubted whether it dates back earlier than the times of the Maccabees. It is, however, at least as probable that the Asmonean princes... read more

Isaiah 12:4-6And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LordCongregational praiseI.WHO ARE HERE CALLED UPON TO PRAISE GOD. The inhabitants of Zion and Jerusalem, whom God had in a peculiar manner protected from Sennacherib’s violence (Isaiah 12:6). Those that have received distinguishing favours from God ought to be most forward and zealous in praising Him.

Isaiah 12:6Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of ZionRapturous enthusiasm should characterise religionHere is a call for enthusiasm, rapture, and what would generally be denominated madness.Still, the words are here, and they are perfectly clear as to their meaning and purpose, and a reason is given for the cry and for the shout; that reason is--“for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.” Men have been infuriated by earthly deliverances, and rightly so, and brought into... read more

Isa 12:2 Behold, God [is] my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH [is] my strength and [my] song; he also is become my salvation. Ver. 2. Behold, God is my salvation. ] Let such take notice of it as said when time was, there is no help for him in God; salvation itself cannot save him.

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Isaiah 12:3

Isa 12:3 Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation. Ver. 3. Therefore with joy shall ye draw water. ] Joy is the just man’s portion, and Christ is the never failing fountain whence by a lively faith he may infallibly fetch it. John 4:10 ; John 4:14 ; Joh 7:37 Christ was much delighted with this metaphor; see John 1:16 . Out of this fountain only may men quench their spiritual thirst after righteousness.
