Isaiah 51:9 ASV

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Isaiah 51:9

Isaiah THE AWAKENING OF ZION Isa_51:9 . - Isa_52:1 . Both these verses are, I think, to be regarded as spoken by one voice, that of the Servant of the Lord. His majestic figure, wrapped in a light veil of obscurity, fills the eye in all these later prophecies of Isaiah. It is sometimes clothed with divine power, sometimes girded with the towel of human weakness, sometimes appearing like the collective Israel, sometimes plainly a single person. We have no difficulty in solving the riddle of... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 51:1-11

“Awake, O Arm of Jehovah!” Isaiah 51:1-11 This chapter is extremely dramatic. We are conscious that we are nearing a revelation of unparalleled sublimity. As we hear the thrice Hearken in Isaiah 1:1-8 , and the thrice Awake , Isaiah 51:9 , which follows, we realize that we are traversing the entrance portico of a noble temple. When God says, Hearken , it is for us to ask Him to fulfill- Awake ! Recall the loneliness of Abraham. “He was but one!” Terah died, Lot dropped away, Hagar was... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 51:1-23

Three messages to the faithful immediately follow. The first is a call to courage (verses Isa 51:1-8 ), in which they are charged to look back to Abraham, to look on to the nearness of God's activity, to look around and be without fear in the presence of opposition. The next is a cry of courage (verses Isa 51:9-11 ), in which they first look up to the arm of the Lord, and then look back and remember how He has delivered, and, finally, look on in the assurance that He will deliver. The last... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 51:1-23

Chapter 51 Exhortations To The People To Respond To God. We now have here three remarkable calls to faithful Israel, ‘listen’ (Isaiah 51:1) - ‘attend’ (Isaiah 51:4) - ‘listen’ (Isaiah 51:7). They have heard the voice of the Servant (Isaiah 50:10), now it is open to them to respond. And how are they to appreciate the truth about the Servant? They are to look back to Abraham, and to recognise how when he was but one God blessed him and made him many, and then they are to recognise in this new... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 51:9-16

The First Call to Awake - Spoken To The Arm Of Yahweh (Isaiah 51:9-16 ). Note that each call to awake is followed by Yahweh speaking to His people. It is a cry for Yahweh to awaken and act on behalf of His people. Isaiah 51:9-11 ‘Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of Yahweh. Awake as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Are you not it that cut Rahab in pieces, that pierced the monster? Are you not it that dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep, Who made the depths... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 51:9-23

Yahweh Is Called On To Awake and Reveal His Power and Israel Are To Awake To The Power And Holiness Of Their Redeeming God (Isaiah 51:9 to Isaiah 52:12 ). God having given to His faithful people the commands to ‘listen -- attend -- listen’ the prophet now calls on Yahweh also to awaken on behalf of His people, for Him too there is a plea that He listen to the call of His people. It is then followed by a call to all His people to awake. Thus there is a threefold call to ‘awake, awake’, in... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 51:9-11

Isaiah 51:9-1 Kings : . An Appeal to Yahweh to Display His Might as of Old.— Let Yahweh’ s strong arm manifest its power as it did in slaying the dragon Rahab, the personification of the mighty deep regarded as the power of Chaos ( Job 9:13 *). This thought naturally suggests another work of Yahweh’ s arm, the drying up of the Red Sea, the more easily that Rahab was an emblem for Egypt ( cf. Isaiah 30:7 *). Isaiah 51:10 . great deep: this expression makes it clear that the reference to the... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 51:9

Awake, awake, thou who hast carried thyself like one asleep, and unconcerned for thy people, and unable to save them. The prophet having foretold what great things God would do for his church, and longing for the accomplishment of them, and knowing that prayer was one means by which God fulfils his promises, he poureth forth his prayer to God in his own name, and in the name of God’s people. Put on strength; clothe and adorn thyself with mighty works; put forth thy strength. That hath cut, Heb.... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 51:9

A CALL TO MORAL HEROISMIsaiah 51:7-8. Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, &c.A beautiful description of God’s people. They know righteousness. His law is in their hand.I. The people of God must expect to be assailed by reproaches and revilings. There is a perpetual antagonism between the Church and the world. Their spirit and aims are diametrically opposed. Light is not more opposed to darkness, truth to falsehood, love to hatred, the bitterness of gall to the sweetness of the... read more

William Nicoll

Sermon Bible Commentary - Isaiah 51:9

Isaiah 51:9 ; Isaiah 52:1 Notice: I. The occurrence in the Church's history of successive periods of energy and of languor. The uninterrupted growth would be best; but if that has not been, then the ending of winter by spring, and the supplying of the dry branches, and the resumption of the arrested growth is the next best and the only alternative to rotting away. We ought to desire such a merciful interruption of the sad continuity of our languor and decay. The surest sign of its coming would... read more
