Isaiah 12:4

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

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 12:1-6

Isaiah 12:1-6. In that day thou shalt say— Isaiah concludes this most noble prophesy, with a eucharistic doxology from the mouth of those who would share in the blessings of the great redemption before specified. This doxology is twofold; in the first part, the faithful in their own name and person, praise God, and bless him for the benefits of Salvation and consolation through Christ conferred upon them; Isaiah 12:1-2. In the second part, they mutually exhort and encourage themselves and... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 12:4-5

In the eschatological day, the remnant will give thanks to Yahweh, pray to Him because of His character revealed in His behavior, and tell the Gentiles about His deeds.

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 12:1-6

1. The thanksgiving that now follows is the counterpart of the hymn of praise sung after the passage of the Red Sea (Exodus 15), and is partly based upon it. Some scholars doubt its Isaianic authorship and date it after the return from exile.3. Draw water] Under a figure it is indicated that there shall be a continual supply of divine protection and deliverance. Or, if we follow the Talmud, there may be an allusion to the ceremonial of the Feast of Tabernacles, on the last day of which water... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 12:4

(4) Declare his doings among the people.—Literally, among the peoples. The prophet quotes from the hymn which had been sung when the Ark was placed in Zion (1 Chronicles 16:8), and in part from Psalms 105:1. read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Isaiah 12:1-6

6CHAPTER XTHE SPIRIT OF GOD IN MAN AND THE ANIMALSABOUT 720 B.C.Isaiah 11:1-16; Isaiah 12:1-6BENEATH the crash of the Assyrian with which the tenth chapter closes, we pass out into the eleventh upon a glorious prospect of Israel’s future. The Assyrian when he falls shall fall forever like the cedars of Lebanon, that send no fresh sprout forth from their broken stumps. But out of the trunk of the Judaean oak, also brought down by these terrible storms, Isaiah sees springing a fair and powerful... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Isaiah 12:1-6

CHAPTER 12 Israel’s Salvation Hymn 1. When Israel will sing (Isaiah 12:1 ) 2. What Israel will sing (Isaiah 12:2-3 ) 3. To whom Israel will sing (Isaiah 12:4-5 ) 4. The Holy One in the midst (Isaiah 12:6 ) It is Israel’s future song of praise for salvation. Read in this light what a wonderful meaning this little chapter has. The song will be sung by the delivered and blessed remnant “in that day.” In what day? When the Lord arises to judge; when He is manifested in His glory; when He... read more
