Notes

Isaiah 12:2

God's promise to save includes:
- reconciliation (Isaiah 1:18),
- participation (Isaiah 11:10),
- cleansing and protection (Isaiah 4:3–6),
- peace and confidence (Isaiah 32:16–17), and
- restoration (Isaiah 11:6–9).
LORD GOD (Hebrew Yah Yahweh): The first word (Yah) is a shorter form of the second (Yahweh).
the LORD GOD is my strength and my song: See Exodus 15:2; Psalm 118:14.

Isaiah 12:1–6

The prophet's personal song of praise for God's salvation concludes the reflections on trust in Isaiah 7–12. God will show he is trustworthy in his promises to rescue his people, even though they initially refused to trust him. The song anticipates Isaiah 40–66 with its themes of:

salvation,
forgiveness,
praise,
joy, and
the nations.

Isaiah 7:1–12:6

These prophecies occurred when Assyria rose to power. Syria and Israel formed an alliance against Judah (Isaiah 7:1–2; see 2 Kings 16:5). God used Assyria as a tool to punish Syria, Israel, and Judah (Isaiah 7–10).
