Isaiah 25:9 - Exposition

It shall be said ; literally, one shall say ; i.e. the redeemed generally shall thus express themselves. We have waited for him . During all the weary time of their oppression and persecution, the godly remnant ( Isaiah 24:13-15 ) was "waiting fur the Lord," i.e. trusting in him, expecting him to arise and scatter his enemies, won-daring that he endured so long the "contradiction of sinners against himself" ( Hebrews 12:3 ), but content to abide his determination of the fitting season for coming forward as their Avenger, and now quite satisfied that he has avenged them in his own good time and in his own good way. We will be glad and rejoice (comp. Psalms 118:24 and So Psalms 1:4 ).
