Notes
praise to their lips: Those who experience God's redemption should respond with praise.
those far and near: This includes both Gentiles and Jews (see Isaiah 56:3; John 10:16; Ephesians 2:17).
The Lord promises to be with the humble, heal them, and give them peace. This promise is for all citizens of Zion, both Jews and non-Jews. The holy one offers salvation to the humble and deals fairly with the wicked.
