Notes

The new name given to the faithful symbolizes a new identity and a closer relationship with the Lord (see also Isaiah 62:2).

The difference between the wicked and God's servants affects all parts of life. God punishes the wicked but blesses those who truly serve him (see Isaiah 65:17–25).

The Lord planned to spare and reward a remnant of righteous people.

Here, the Lord responds to the prayer in Isaiah 63:7–64:12.
