12 Let them give glory to the Lordand proclaim his praise in the islands.
12 Let them give glory unto the Lord, and declare his praise in the islands.
12 Let them give glory to the Lord, and declare his praise in the coastlands.
12 Make God's glory resound; echo his praises from coast to coast.
12 Let them give glory to the Lord, And declare His praise in the coastlands.
12 Let the whole world glorify the Lord ; let it sing his praise.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Isaiah 42:12
Commentary on Isaiah 42:5-12
(Read Isaiah 42:5-12)
The work of redemption brings back man to the obedience he owes to God as his Maker. Christ is the light of the world. And by his grace he opens the understandings Satan has blinded, and sets at liberty from the bondage of sin. The Lord has supported his church. And now he makes new promises, which shall as certainly be fulfilled as the old ones were. When the Gentiles are brought into the church, he is glorified in them and by them. Let us give to God those things which are his, taking heed that we do not serve the creature more than the Creator.
