Isaiah 12:6

Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee. SHOUT, THOU INHABITANT OF ZION - Hebrew, inhabitress; so 'daughter of Zion' - i:e., Zion and its people. FOR GREAT IS THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL IN THE MIDST OF THEE - of Jerusalem literally (; , "the name of the city from that day shall be, The Lord is there;" ; ; ). Remarks: Every member of the spiritual lsrael echoes from the heart this song of thanksgiving-once "thou wast angry with me," because my sin was unpardoned; but now, thro...

6._Shout and sing. _He again exhorts the godly to rejoice in the Lord, at the same time reminding them what is the nature of true joy, and on what it is founded. We have no other happiness than to have God dwelling _in the midst of us_. But for this, our life would be wretched and unhappy, though we should have abundance of other blessings and of every kind of riches. Now, if our heart be set on our _treasure_, (Matthew 6:21,) this happiness will attract all our feelings. _The Holy One of Israel. _He calls him _the Holy One_, in order to inform us what he intends to prove himself to be to us, while he dwells with us; that is, that not only his majesty may fill our minds with reverence towards him, for it would at the same time overwhelm us with terror; but that he may vouchsafe to make us the objects of his peculiar care, though separated from the rest of the

Verse Isaiah 12:6. _THOU INHABITANT OF ZION_] Not only the _Jewish people_, to whom his word of salvation was to be sent first; but also all members of the Church of Christ: as in _them_, and in his _Church_, the Holy One of Israel dwells. St. Paul, speaking of the _mystery_ which had been proclaimed among the Gentiles, sums it up in these words: "which is CHRIST IN YOU, the hope of glory; whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus;" Colossians 1:27. Well, therefore, may the inhabitant of Zion _cry oat and shout_, and proclaim the greatness of her Redeemer....

CRY OUT - (צהלי _tsahalı̂y_). This word is usually applied to the neighing of a horse Jeremiah 5:8; Jeremiah 8:16. It is also used to express joy, pleasure, exultation, by a clear and loud sound of the voice Isaiah 10:30; Isaiah 12:6; Isaiah 14:14; Isaiah 54:1; Jeremiah 31:7;...

EXPOSITION ISAIAH 12:1 THE SONG OF THANKSGIVING OF THE UNITED CHURCH. On each of her deliverances the Church is hound to praise God. In some parts of the Church it is customary on every such occasion to sing a "Te Deum." The ordinary Israelite hymn of praise appears to have been the hundred and thirty-sixth psalm (1 Chronicles 16:34, 1 Chronicles 16:41; 2Ch 5:13; 2 Chronicles 7:3;...

CRY OUT, AND SHOUT,.... By singing aloud, with the high praises of God in the mouth: THOU INHABITANT OF ZION: born and brought up there, free of Zion, that is settled and dwells there, and so happy; since there plenty of provisions is had, health is enjoyed, and the inhabitants in the utmost safety and protection, having the greatest privileges and immunities; and therefore have reason to sing and shout for joy, and especially for what follows: FOR GREAT [IS] THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL IN THE MIDST OF THEE; by "the Holy One of Israel" is meant Christ, the Redeemer and Husband of this church; see Isaiah 48:17 because, as God, he is the God of Israel, the spiritual Israel, and as such is holy, even glorious in holiness; and, as man, sprung from Israel, literal Israel, and as such is holy in his nature, acts, and offices; and is the sanctifier of the whole Is

CHAPTER 12 Israel's Salvation Hymn 1. _When Israel will sing (Isaiah 12:1)_ 2. _What Israel will sing (Isaiah 12:2)_ 3. _To whom Israel will sing (Isaiah 12:4)_ 4. _The Holy One in the midst (Isaiah 12:6)_ It is Israel's future song of praise for salvation. Read in this light what a wonderful meaning this little chapter has. The song will be sung by the delivered and blessed remnant “in that day.” In what day? When the Lord arises to judge; when He is manifested in His glory; when He brings back the captivity of His people....

ISAIAH 12. SONGS OF THANKSGIVING. This is a late appendix to the preceding. It is imitative throughout and copies late passages. Isaiah 11:16 compares Israel's return from the Dispersion with the deliverance of the Hebrews at the Exodus. As a song of praise (Exodus 15) celebrates the destruction of the Egyptians at the Red Sea, so two brief songs (Isaiah 12:1; Isaiah 12:4) are inserted here, which have close points of contact with Exodus 15 and some Pss., especially Psalms 105, also with parts of Isaiah 24-27. The speaker in the first song is apparently the redeemed Israel. He utters thanksgiving for the passing of Yahweh's anger into comfort (Isa
