Isaiah 26:15

Thou hast increased the nation Probably an allusion to ch. Isaiah 9:3. There is no justification for taking the perfects here as prophetic perfects, or for understanding them in a precative sense. A real increase of the nation and its territory is regarded as already effected; this is one of the successes which Jehovah has wrought for His people.

thou art glorified thou hast glorified thyself, by thus exalting Israel.

thou hadst removed … earth Render with R.V., thou hast enlarged all the borders of the land.
