4. he shall stand--that is, persevere: implying the endurance of
His kingdom [CALVIN]. Rather, His sedulous care
and pastoral circumspection, as a shepherd stands erect to
survey and guard His flock on every side
(Isa 61:5)
[MAURER].
feed--that is, rule: as the Greek word similarly in
Mt 2:6,
Margin, means both "feed" and "rule"
(Isa 40:11; 49:10;
Eze 34:23;
compare
2Sa 5:2; 7:8).
in the majesty of the name of the Lord--possessing the majesty of all
Jehovah's revealed attributes ("name")
(Isa 11:2;
Php 2:6, 9;
Heb 2:7-9).
his God--God is "His God" in a oneness of relation distinct from
the sense in which God is our God
(Joh 20:17).
they shall abide--the Israelites ("they," namely, the
returning remnant and the "children of Israel previously in Canaan)
shall dwell in permanent security and prosperity
(Mic 4:4;
Isa 14:30).
unto the ends of the earth--
(Mic 4:1;
Ps 72:8;
Zec 9:10).
