Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
near--antithetical to "far" (Isa 46:12; Isa 51:5; Isa 56:1; Isa 61:10-11; Rom 10:6-8).
righteousness--answering to "salvation" in the parallel clause; therefore it means here, "my righteous deliverance"; righteous, because proving the truth of God's promises, and so contrived as to not compromise, but vindicate, His righteousness (Isa 42:21; Rom 3:26).
Zion . . . my glory--rather, "I will give salvation in Zion; to Israel (I will give) my glory" [HORSLEY]. (Isa 63:11; Psa 14:7; Luk 2:32). |
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
I bring near my righteousness - The word 'righteousness' here evidently denotes his truth; the fulfillment of his promises. His righteous and true character would be manifested to them so plainly and clearly that they would be able no longer to doubt. It would not be remote in time, or in place, but it would be so near that they could see it, and so plain that they could no longer doubt or misunderstand it.
And my salvation shall not tarry - The people shall be delivered from their bondage at the exact time which has been predicted.
I will place salvation in Zion - Zion or Jerusalem shall be rebuilt, and salvation shall emanate from that as from a center to the whole world.
Israel my glory - The people whom he had chosen, and who reflected his glory. God's honor and glory on earth are seen in, and by the church, and he designs that the church shall be the means of making his glory known among people. Or it may mean I will give my glory to Israel. I will show to them my perfections, and will make their nation the place of the manifestations of my glorious attributes. |
Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
I bring - Tho' you are unrighteous, I will shew myself a righteous and faithful God, making good my promise of delivering you out of Babylon after seventy years. It - My work of saving you from the Babylonish captivity. Will place - I will bring my people to Zion, and save them from all their enemies. My glory - In whom I will once again glory as my people. |

7 Oh that [05414] the salvation [03444] of Israel [03478] were come out of Zion [06726]! when the LORD [03068] bringeth back [07725] the captivity [07622] of his people [05971], Jacob [03290] shall rejoice [01523], and Israel [03478] shall be glad [08055].
11 Then he remembered [02142] the days [03117] of old [05769], Moses [04872], and his people [05971], saying, Where is he that brought them up [05927] out of the sea [03220] with the shepherd [07462] of his flock [06629]? where is he that put [07760] his holy [06944] Spirit [07307] within [07130] him?
26 To [4314] declare [1732], I say, at [1722] this [3568] time [2540] his [846] righteousness [1343]: that [1519] he might be [1511] just [1342], and [2532] the justifier [1344] of him [846] which believeth [4102] in [1537] Jesus [2424].

6 But [1161] the righteousness [1343] which is of [1537] faith [4102] speaketh [3004] on this wise [3779], Say [2036] not [3361] in [1722] thine [4675] heart [2588], Who [5101] shall ascend [305] into [1519] heaven [3772]? (that is [5123], to bring [2609] Christ [5547] down [2609] from above:)
7 Or [2228], Who [5101] shall descend [2597] into [1519] the deep [12]? (that is [5123], to bring up [321] Christ [5547] again [321] from [1537] the dead [3498].)
8 But [235] what [5101] saith it [3004]? The word [4487] is [2076] nigh [1451] thee [4675], even in [1722] thy [4675] mouth [4750], and [2532] in [1722] thy [4675] heart [2588]: that is [5123], the word [4487] of faith [4102], which [3739] we preach [2784];
10 I will greatly [07797] rejoice [07797] in the LORD [03068], my soul [05315] shall be joyful [01523] in my God [0430]; for he hath clothed [03847] me with the garments [0899] of salvation [03468], he hath covered [03271] me with the robe [04598] of righteousness [06666], as a bridegroom [02860] decketh [03547] himself with ornaments [06287], and as a bride [03618] adorneth [05710] herself with her jewels [03627].

1 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Keep [08104] ye judgment [04941], and do [06213] justice [06666]: for my salvation [03444] is near [07138] to come [0935], and my righteousness [06666] to be revealed [01540].
