Let the redeemed
The phrase "Let the redeemed" calls attention to those who have been delivered or rescued by God. The Hebrew word for "redeemed" is "ga'al," which carries the connotation of being bought back or ransomed. In the ancient Near Eastern context, redemption often involved a kinsman-redeemer who would restore a family member from slavery or debt. Spiritually, this points to God's redemptive work throughout history, culminating in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who redeems believers from the bondage of sin. The call to "let" them speak suggests an active response to God's grace, encouraging the redeemed to testify of their deliverance.

of the LORD
This phrase emphasizes that the redemption comes from Yahweh, the covenant-keeping God of Israel. The use of "LORD" in all caps in the BSB indicates the translation of the tetragrammaton YHWH, the personal name of God revealed to Moses. It signifies God's eternal, self-existent nature and His faithfulness to His promises. Historically, the Israelites experienced God's redemption from Egypt, and this serves as a type for the ultimate redemption through Christ. The phrase underscores that it is God alone who initiates and accomplishes redemption.

say so
The imperative "say so" is a call to vocalize and proclaim the acts of God. In the Hebrew text, the verb "amar" is used, which means to speak, declare, or command. This is not a passive acknowledgment but an active declaration of God's goodness and mercy. The historical context of Israel's worship included recounting God's mighty deeds, and this practice is encouraged here. For Christians, this is a call to evangelism and testimony, sharing the gospel and personal experiences of God's saving grace.

whom He has redeemed
This phrase reiterates the personal involvement of God in the act of redemption. The use of "He" emphasizes God's initiative and power in the process. The historical context of Israel's deliverance from various captivities, such as the Babylonian exile, serves as a backdrop for understanding this redemption. In the New Testament, this is fulfilled in Christ, who redeems believers from sin and death. The phrase invites reflection on the personal nature of salvation, where God knows and redeems each individual.

from the hand of the enemy
The "hand of the enemy" symbolizes oppression, danger, and captivity. In the Hebrew Bible, "hand" often represents power or control. Historically, Israel faced numerous enemies, from the Egyptians to the Babylonians, and God's deliverance from these foes is a recurring theme. Spiritually, this phrase can be understood as deliverance from the ultimate enemy, Satan, and the power of sin. For believers, it is a reminder of the spiritual warfare they face and the victory they have in Christ, who has overcome the world.

(2) Redeemed of the Lord.--See for this grand expression, for which so high a destiny was prepared, Isaiah 62:12; and comp. Isaiah 63:4; Isaiah 35:9.

Verse 2. - Let the redeemed of the Lord say so. "The redeemed of the Lord" in this place are those whom the Lord has just delivered out of exile and captivity (comp. Isaiah 44:22-24; Isaiah 51:11; Jeremiah 31:11; Zechariah 10:8, etc.). The writer calls on them to give voice to the thanksgiving of ver. 1. Whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; i.e. of Babylon.
