This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Messiah exhorts the godly after His example (Isa 49:4, Isa 49:5; Isa 42:4) when in circumstances of trial (“darkness,” Isa 47:5), to trust in the arm of Jehovah alone.
Who is, etc. - that is, Whosoever (Jdg 7:3).
obeyeth ... servant - namely, Messiah. The godly “honor the Son, even as they honor the Father” (Joh 5:23).
darkness - (Mic 7:8, Mic 7:9). God never had a son who was not sometimes in the dark. For even Christ, His only Son, cried out, “My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?”
light - rather, “splendor”; bright sunshine; for the servant of God is never wholly without “light” [Vitringa]. A godly man’s way may be dark, but his end shall be peace and light. A wicked man’s way may be bright, but his end shall be utter darkness (Psa 112:4; Psa 97:11; Psa 37:24).
let him trust in the name of the Lord - as Messiah did (Isa 50:8, Isa 50:9).
