Isaiah 26:12-13 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 26:12-19

The prophet in these verses looks back upon what God had done with them, both in mercy and judgment, and sings unto God of both, and then looks forward upon what he hoped God would do for them. Observe, I. His reviews and reflections are mixed. When he looks back upon the state of the church he finds, 1. That God had in many instances been very gracious to them and had done great things for them. (1.) In general (Isa. 26:12): Thou hast wrought all our works in us, or for us. Whatever good work... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 26:12

Lord, thou wilt ordain peace for us ,.... Dispose, order, give it to us, outward and inward, spiritual and eternal: chiefly respect is had to that peace and prosperity the church will have in the latter day, which the zeal of the Lord of hosts, before mentioned, will perform for her, Psalm 72:8 and which she expresses her faith in, when it goes ill with the wicked, and that for the following reason: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us ; or "to us", or "for us" F2 לנו ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 26:13

O Lord our God, other lords besides thee have had dominion over us ,.... Sin and Satan have the dominion over the Lord's people, in a state of unregeneracy; before the good work of grace is wrought in them, every lust is a lord, and is served and obeyed: and Satan is the god of this world by usurpation, and leads men captive at his will. Some think that the idols the Jews had served and worshipped, called "Baalim" or lords, are meant, and that this is a confession of their sin; but that... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 26:1-13

The vision of future glory. It seems best to take this as the picture of an ideal spiritual state. I. THE IMPREGNABLE CITY . Its walls and outworks are "salvation." A great word—negatively hinting deliverance from the enemy and the oppressor; positively including all the contents of sacred peace, prosperity, and happiness. But salvation is nothing without a Savior; it is the loving presence of Jehovah who girds about Jerusalem as a wall. In Zechariah 2:9 he is spoken of as a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 26:1-18

A SONG OF THE REDEEMED IN MOUNT ZION . The prophet, having (in Isaiah 25:1-12 .) poured forth his own thankfulness to God for the promise of the Church's final redemption and triumph, proceeds now to represent the Church itself in the glorified state as singing praise to God for the same. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 26:1-18

Thanksgiving the employment of the saints in bliss. The prophet, in this sublime passage of his prophecy, carries us with him within the veil, and reveals to us the very words, or, at the least, the general tone and tenor of utterances, which the saints make when they have passed from earth to heaven, and stand in the very presence of God. The words are, as we should have expected, mainly words of praise and thanksgiving. The saints praise God— I. FOR THE BLESSINGS OF THEIR ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 26:12

Lord, thou wilt ordain peace for us ; i.e. henceforth thou wilt give us an existence of perfect peace (see Isaiah 26:3 ), untroubled by adversaries. For thou also hast wrought all our works in us ; rather, all our work for us . The "work" intended seems to be, as Mr. Cheyne observes, "the work of their deliverance." read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 26:12-18

The argument from the past. Great things are represented, by the prophetic voice, to have been done, and these furnish the strongest reason to expect great things in the future. I. THE GREAT THINGS GOD HAS DONE FOR US . 1. He has heard our cry in the day of distress ( Isaiah 26:16 , Isaiah 26:17 ). Few things go home to our hearts more readily than the words of the psalmist, "I cried unto the Lord, and he heard me." It is a great thing to have been heard of God,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 26:13

Other lords . The saved had not always been faithful to Jehovah. Some, no doubt, had actually been idolaters, as many of the early Christians ( 1 Corinthians 12:2 ; 1 Thessalonians 1:9 , etc.). Others had given their hearts for a time to other vanities, and turned away from God. Now, in the new Jerusalem, they confess their short comings, and acknowledge that only through God's mercy—by thee—are they in the condition to celebrate his Name. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 26:13

Full allegiance to Jehovah. This may be regarded as still a part of the song which the exiles would sing when the way was made plain for their return to their own beloved land. The way would not be plain until the great oppressing city of Babylon, and the great oppressing dynasty of Nebuchadnezzar, had been humbled. Then God would "ordain peace" for his people; and then the full and glad allegiance of Ms people to him could be fully and freely expressed and manifested. The answering... read more
