This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa_62:4 Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.
Ver. 4. But thou shalt be called Hephzibah,] i.e., My delight is in her; as if Christ should say to his Church, {as Jdg_14:3} Tu mihi sola places, {a} Thou art mine only joy. The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him. {Psa_147:11} Let us reciprocate, {b} love the Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity; not only with a love of desire, {as Psa_42:1; Psa_42:3} but also of delight and complacency, solacing ourselves in the fruition of him, {as Psa_16:5-6} and of his people, these "excellent ones of the earth" who were David’s Hephzibam, {Isa_62:3} in whom was "all his delight."
{a} Ovid. De Arte Am.
{b} Redamemus ergo sponsum.
