9. And it shall be said in that day, &c.--"After death has been
swallowed up for ever, the people of God, who had been delivered from
the hand of death, shall say to the Lord, Lo, this is our God, whom
unbelievers regarded as only a man"
[JEROME]. "The words are so
moulded as to point us specially to the person of the Son of God, who
'saves' us; as He vouchsafed to Israel temporal saving, so to His elect
He appears for the purpose of conferring eternal salvation"
[VITRINGA].
The Jews, however, have a special share in the words, This is
our God (see on
Isa 25:6).
we have waited--"Waited" is characteristic of God's people in all ages
(Ge 49:18;
Tit 2:13).
we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation--compare
Ps 118:24,
which refers to the second coming of Jesus (compare
Ps 118:26,
with Lu 13:35).
