Isaiah 12:1-2

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's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 12:1-2

‘And in that day you will say, I will give thanks to you, O Yahweh, For although you were angry with me, Your anger is turned away, And you comfort me. Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and will not be afraid, For Yah Yahweh is my strength and my song, And he is become my salvation.’ The hymn is first of all a song of thanksgiving that Yahweh’s anger has been turned away from them, even though they recognise that they have deserved it. Thus instead of visiting them in anger and judgment... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 12:1-6

Isaiah 12. Songs of Thanksgiving.— This is a late appendix to the preceding. It is imitative throughout and copies late passages. Isaiah 11:16 compares Israel’ s return from the Dispersion with the deliverance of the Hebrews at the Exodus. As a song of praise (Exodus 15) celebrates the destruction of the Egyptians at the Red Sea, so two brief songs ( Isaiah 12:1-Leviticus :, Isaiah 12:4-Joshua :) are inserted here, which have close points of contact with Exodus 15 and some Pss., especially... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 12:1

A NEW SONG FOR NEW HEARTSIsaiah 12:1. And in that day thou shalt say, O Lord, &c.This prophecy is said by some to relate to the invasion by Sennacherib, and the marvellous deliverance therefrom. If so, it is an instance of sanctified affliction, and a lesson to us that whenever we smart under the rod we may look forward to the time when it shall be withdrawn; it is also an admonition to us, that when we escape from trial we should take care to celebrate the event with grateful praise. It is... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 12:1-6

ISAIAH’S VISION OF THE KING AND OF HIS KINGDOMCHAPTERS 11 AND 12This is one of the visions that Isaiah saw (chap. Isaiah 1:1, Isaiah 2:1, &c.). He was a dreamer of dreams. With a keen perception, not surpassed, of the men and things actually surrounding him, much of his life was passed in an ideal and future world. There he found comfort and strength to endure the sorrows that otherwise would have crushed him. At the outset of his ministry, when the great king who had done so much to... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Isaiah 12:2

Isaiah 12:2 Naturally any creature must be liable to fear. The finite nature, however exalted, must always feel itself transcended and surrounded by the infinite unknown. And we are manifestly far more liable to the inroads of fear than those creatures who are in their first and proper position who have never fallen. 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... read more
