Verse 4
4. This discourse is to his people yet in exile; but equally well it applies to them when he, as Messiah, finds them at his incarnation in Judea, centuries after their restoration to Jerusalem.
The Lord God He from whom goes forth the Messiah, and he in whom Jehovah came to his nation, a twofold mysterious relation, or interaction, of God and his Anointed One. The one speaking here, as is also shown by the words me and mine, may be assumed to be the Messiah, who is referring in these verses to facts pertaining especially to the incarnate period on earth, and generally to the ante-incarnate period during the later history of Israel. Isaiah 42:2; Isaiah 49:1.
The tongue of the learned One eloquent in what he knows, or in those things in which he has been instructed.
Word in season Words of consolation and hope to the sorrowful and afflicted.
He wakeneth morning by morning Jehovah continually reveals to his Anointed what truths he should speak or reveal. Messiah is a learner, not in the way prophets become such by dreams in the night and other ways but through closest oneness of nature, and in normal face-to-face communications.
He wakeneth mine ear Calleth for my mental attention, which is instantly given. This describes the way of Christ on earth perfectly.
