Isaiah 42:10 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 42:5-12

Here is I. The covenant God made with and the commission he gave to the Messiah, Isa. 42:5-7, which are an exposition of Isa. 42:1; Behold my servant, whom I uphold. 1. The royal titles by which the great God here makes himself known, and distinguishes himself from all pretenders, speak very much his glory (Isa. 42:5): Thus saith God the Lord. And who are thou, Lord? Why, he is the fountain of all being and therefore the fountain of all power. He is the fountain of being, 1. In the upper... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 42:10

Sing unto the Lord a new song ,.... On account of the new things before prophesied of, and now done; on account of redemption and salvation by Christ, and the conversion of the Gentiles through the light of the Gospel brought among them; the song of redeeming love, and for the Gospel, and regenerating grace; and not the Jews only, but the Gentiles also, are called upon to sing this song, as having a special share in the blessings, the subject of it: hence it follows, and his praise from... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 42:10

Ye that go down to the sea - This seems not to belong to this place; it does not well consist with what follows, "and the fullness thereof." They that go down upon the sea means navigators, sailors, traders, such as do business in great waters; an idea much too confined for the prophet, who means the sea in general, as it is used by the Hebrews, for the distant nations, the islands, the dwellers on the sea-coasts all over the world. I suspect that some transcriber had the Psalm 107:23 ;... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 42:9-17

ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE COMING DELIVERANCE OF ISRAEL FROM BABYLON , AND CALL ON THE NATIONS FOR A SONG OF PRAISE AND JUBILATION . Jehovah is still the speaker. He begins by promising a new revelation ( Isaiah 42:9 ). Then, before the revelation is made, he calls upon the nations—especially those in the vicinity of Palestine—to rejoice at what is about to happen ( Isaiah 42:10-12 ). After this he proceeds to make the announcement promised in Isaiah 42:9 ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 42:10

Sing unto the Lord a new song . The call for a "new song" is based upon the ground that the mercy vouchsafed was a "new" one (see Isaiah 42:9 ). The expression is frequent in the Psalms ( Psalms 33:3 ; Psalms 96:1 ; Psalms 98:1 ; Psalms 144:9 ; Psalms 149:1 ). His praise from the end of the earth ; i.e. "let his praise be sung by all the inhabitants of the earth to its remotest bounds." The sea . Sea and land are called upon equally to proclaim God's praise; the sea, "and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 42:10-12

The duty of sympathizing with the joys of others. Compassion for those who suffer is a strong and powerful feeling, well developed in human nature, and widely spread among all classes and conditions of men. A real feeling of glad sympathy with those who are exceptionally prosperous is a far rarer emotion, and seldom attains any great intensity. Yet, in the nature of things, the two duties would seem to be co-ordinate and to balance each other. "Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 42:10-25

A new song to Jehovah. Caught up in his ecstasy to a high place of vision, the prophet sees all the nations of mankind deriving blessing from the ministry of Israel, and calls upon them to join in a song of praise. God's goodness in providing a Redeemer demands the thanksgiving of all the world. I. THE SONG AND THE SINGERS . The new song is named in the Psalter ( Psalms 96:1 ; Psalms 98:1 ), meaning a song inspired by the sense of new mercies. All parts of the earth are to... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 42:10

Sing unto the Lord a new song - It is common, as we have seen, to celebrate the goodness of God in a hymn of praise on the manifestation of any special act of mercy (see the notes at Isaiah 12:1-6; Isaiah 25:1-12; Isaiah 26:0) Here the prophet calls upon all people to celebrate the divine mercy in a song of praise in view of his goodness in providing a Redeemer. The sentiment is, that God’s goodness in providing a Saviour demands the thanksgiving of all the world.A new song - A song hitherto... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 42:10-12

Isaiah 42:10 ; Isaiah 42:12 . Sing unto the Lord a new song Upon this new and great occasion, the salvation of the world by Christ. It is with peculiar propriety and elegance that the nations are here called upon and exhorted to praise and extol Jehovah, for the singular blessing conferred upon them by the gospel. And his praise from the end of the earth All nations, from one end of the earth to another. Ye that go down to the sea You that go by sea, carry these glad tidings from... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 42:1-25

Success and failure of God’s servant (42:1-25)In the previous chapter the servant of Yahweh was identified with Israel (see 41:8). Israel is probably again the servant who is identified here, but the ideals outlined in this song never became a reality in the nation. They did, to some extent, characterize the faithful remnant, but they found their perfect expression only in the one who embodied the ideals God desired, Jesus Christ. The prophet foresees that this servant of Yahweh, though... read more
