Isaiah 12

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 12:6

Cry out - (צהלי tsahalı̂y). This word is usually applied to the neighing of a horse Jeremiah 5:8; Jeremiah 8:16. It is also used to express joy, pleasure, exultation, by a clear and loud sound of the voice Isaiah 10:30; Isaiah 12:6; Isaiah 14:14; Isaiah 54:1; Jeremiah 31:7; Jeremiah 50:11. It is here synonymous with the numerous passages in the Psalms, and elsewhere, where the people of God are called on to exult, to shout, to make a noise as expressive of their joy Psalms 47:1; Psalms... read more

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

A.M. 3266. B.C. 738. The salvation promised in the foregoing chapter being compared to that of Israel, in the day when they came out of the land of Egypt; and Moses and Israel having then sung a song of praise, to the glory of God; the prophet here puts a eucharistic hymn into the mouths of the Lord’s redeemed under the Christian dispensation, when the root of Jesse should stand for an ensign of the people, and become the desire and joy of all nations. (1,) Every particular believer shall... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 12:1-2

Isaiah 12:1-2. And, &c. “Isaiah concludes this most noble prophecy with a doxology from the mouth of those who should share in the blessings of the great redemption before specified. This doxology is two-fold: in the first part, the redeemed, in their own names and persons, praise God for the benefits of salvation and consolation through Christ, conferred upon them. In the second part they mutually exhort and encourage themselves and others, to praise and celebrate their God and... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 12:3

Isaiah 12:3. Therefore Because the Lord Jehovah is your strength and song, and is, and will be, your salvation; with joy shall ye draw water, &c. The assurances God has given you of his love, and the experience you have had of the benefit and comfort of his grace, should greatly encourage your faith in him, and your expectations from him. Out of the wells of salvation Your thirsty and fainting souls shall be filled with divine graces and comforts; which you shall plentifully draw... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 12:4-6

Isaiah 12:4-6. In that day ye shall say, &c. Here we have the second part of the evangelical song, the subject of which, as of the former, is the praise of God. In the former part, believers stir up themselves to praise God; here they invite and encourage one another to do it, and are represented as contriving to spread his praise, and to draw in others to join with them in it. Praise the Lord, call upon his name As giving thanks for former mercies is a modest way of begging for... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 12:1-6

The Messiah’s kingdom (11:1-12:6)A leading theme of this part of the book is that God preserves a remnant out of the destruction of Israel and Judah. Earlier this remnant was likened to the stump of a tree from which springs new life (see 6:13). The remnant is now identified with the royal line of David (son of Jesse) from which comes the Messiah (11:1). The Messiah reverences God and, having the Spirit of God in unlimited measure, knows how to apply God’s wisdom in ruling God’s people. He is... read more
