Isaiah 25

1. Song of Praise for God's Favor

Berean Study Bible

O LORD
The term "LORD" in this context is derived from the Hebrew "YHWH," often vocalized as Yahweh. This is the covenant name of God, emphasizing His eternal, self-existent nature. It is a name that signifies God's unchanging faithfulness and His intimate relationship with His people. In the historical context, the Israelites would have understood this as a reminder of God's promises and His mighty acts of deliverance, such as the Exodus from Egypt.

You are my God
This phrase is a personal declaration of faith and allegiance. The Hebrew word for "God" here is "Elohim," a plural form that denotes majesty and power. By saying "my God," the speaker, likely Isaiah, is expressing a personal relationship with the Almighty, acknowledging His sovereignty and authority over his life. This reflects a deep, personal commitment and trust in God's character and His divine plan.

I will exalt You
To "exalt" means to lift up or glorify. The Hebrew root "rum" conveys the idea of elevating someone to a high status. In a spiritual sense, exalting God involves recognizing His supreme authority and giving Him the honor and reverence He deserves. Historically, this would have been expressed through worship and obedience, acknowledging God's supremacy over all creation.

I will praise Your name
The act of praising God's name involves acknowledging His attributes and deeds. In Hebrew culture, a name was more than just a label; it represented the essence and character of a person. Thus, praising God's name is an act of worship that celebrates His holiness, righteousness, and love. It is a response to His revealed nature and His mighty works throughout history.

for You have worked wonders
The "wonders" refer to miraculous acts that demonstrate God's power and authority over nature and history. The Hebrew word "pele" signifies extraordinary, awe-inspiring events that reveal God's intervention in the world. These wonders serve as a testament to God's active presence and His ability to accomplish His purposes, often in ways that surpass human understanding.

Plans formed long ago
This phrase highlights God's sovereignty and foreknowledge. The Hebrew word "etzah" for "plans" suggests deliberate, wise counsel. God's plans are not haphazard but are established with divine wisdom and purpose. Historically, this reassures believers that God is in control, orchestrating events according to His perfect will, even when circumstances seem uncertain.

in perfect faithfulness
The Hebrew word "emunah" for "faithfulness" conveys steadfastness, reliability, and truth. God's faithfulness is perfect, meaning it is complete and unchanging. This assurance of God's unwavering commitment to His promises provides comfort and hope to believers, affirming that He will fulfill His word and remain true to His covenant, regardless of human frailty or failure.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

XXV.

(1) O Lord, thou art my God.--The burst of praise follows, like St. Paul's in Romans 11:33-36, upon the contemplation of the glory of the heavenly city.

Thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.--It is better to omit the words in italics, and to treat the words as standing in the objective case, in apposition with "wonderful things." The "counsels of old" are the eternal purposes of God made known to His prophets. The absence of a conjunction in the Hebrew, emphasises the enumeration.

Pulpit Commentary

Verses 1-12. - ISAIAH'S SONG OF PRAISE ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF GOD'S KINGDOM. AS in Isaiah 12, after describing the first setting up of Christ's kingdom and the call of the Gentiles, the prophet broke out into song, through joy at the tidings he was commissioned to announce, so now, having proclaimed the final establishment of the same kingdom in the heavenly Zion, he is again carried away by the sense of exultant gladness into a fresh Lobgesang, which he utters in his own person - not, as the former one, in the person of the Church. His song divides itself into three sections:

(1) vers. 1-5, a thanksgiving for deliverance;

(2) vers. 6-8, a commemoration of blessings granted; and

(3) vers. 9-12, exultation in the security obtained. Verse 1. - Thou art my God; I will exalt thee (comp. Exodus 15:2 and Psalm 118:28). To Isaiah the "Song of Moses" seems to have been a pattern thanksgiving, from which he delighted to draw his phrases when he was bent on formally singing praise to God. Compare the following: Exodus 15:2 with Isaiah 12:2, "He is become my salvation;" the same with Isaiah 25:1, "He is my God; I will exalt him;" Exodus 15:6 with Isaiah 13:16, "Hath dashed in pieces;" Exodus 15:7 with Isaiah 47:14, "Consumed them as stubble;" Exodus 15:11 with Isaiah 46:5, "Who is like," etc.? the same with Isaiah 25:1, "Doing wonders;" Exodus 15:16 with Isaiah 8:13, "Fear and dread;" Exodus 15:18 with Isaiah 24:23, "The Lord shall reign." Wonderful things; thy counsels of old are, etc.; rather, thou hast wrought wonders, counsels of old, faithfulness and truth. The wonders for which God is praised were decreed in his counsels from all eternity; their accomplishment shows forth God's "faithfulness" and "truth."
