Isaiah 62:1

Evidently God is the speaker (cf. Isaiah 62:6). Other possibilities are the Servant Messiah (cf. Isaiah 61:1-3) or Isaiah. Watts believed the speaker was Jerusalem’s civil administrator. [Note: Watts, Isaiah 34-66, pp. 309, 311-12.] God assured His people that even though they thought He had been silent to their prayers for deliverance (cf. Isaiah 42:14; Isaiah 45:15-19; Isaiah 57:11; Isaiah 64:12; Isaiah 65:6), He would indeed provide righteousness and salvation for them. He would do it for the love of His people, for Zion’s sake.
