bud--the tender shoots.

| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
For as the earth bringeth forth - This figure is several times used by the prophet (see the notes at Isa 45:8; Isa 55:10-11). The idea is an exceedingly beautiful one, that, on the coming of the Messiah, truth and righteousness would spring up and abound like grass and fruits in the vegetable world when the earth is watered with rain.
Her bud - The word 'bud' we now apply usually to the small bunch or protuberance on the branches of a plant, containing the rudiments of the future leaf or flower. The Hebrew word, however, (צמח tsemach), rather means the germ, the shoot, or the young and tender plant as it comes up from the earth; that which first appears from the seed.
So the Lord God will cause righteousness to spring forth - (See the notes at Isa 42:19; Isa 43:9; Isa 44:4; Isa 45:8).
Before all the nations - The sense is, that righteousness would abound over all the earth, and that all the world would yet join in celebrating the praises of God. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Righteousness - His great work of salvation shall break out and appear. Praise - As the natural product, and fruit of it. |

| The Lord God "The Lord Jehovah" - "אדני Adonai, the Lord, makes the line longer than the preceding and following; and the Septuagint, Alexandrian, (and MSS. Pachom. and 1. D. II.), and Arabic, do not so render it. Hence it seems to be interpolated." - Dr. Jubb. Three MSS. have it not. See the note on Isa 61:1 (note). Both words אדני יהוה Adonai Jehovah, are wanting in one of my MSS.; but are supplied in the margin by a later hand. |
