This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
delight ... in ... Lord - God rewards in kind, as He punishes in kind. As we “delight” in keeping God’s “Sabbath,” so God will give us “delight” in Himself (Gen 15:1; Job 22:21-26; Psa 37:4).
ride upon ... high places - I will make thee supreme lord of the land; the phrase is taken from a conqueror riding in his chariot, and occupying the hills and fastnesses of a country [Vitringa], (Deu 32:13; Mic 1:3; Hab 3:19). Judea was a land of hills; the idea thus is, “I will restore thee to thine own land” [Calvin]. The parallel words, “heritage of Jacob,” confirm this (Gen 27:28, Gen 27:29; Gen 28:13-15).
mouth of ... Lord ... spoken it - a formula to assure men of the fulfillment of any solemn promise which God has made (Isa 40:5).
