This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa_51:5 My righteousness [is] near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust.
Ver. 5. My righteousness,] i.e., My faithfulness, or my Son, that Sun of righteousness, is already on the way, {a} and will be with you forthwith.
And mine arm shall judge the people,] i.e., All that set themselves against the Lord and against his Christ, {Psa_2:2} these shall feel his power to their perdition, even the force of both his arms.
The isles shall wait upon me.] They shall stretch out their souls as a line (so the word importeth), and direct them toward Christ.
And on mine arm shall they trust,] i.e., On my power, or on my gospel promises.
{a} Iam amodo iter ingressa est. - Hyper.
