Isaiah 38:15-20
_ _ The second part of the song passes from prayer to thanksgiving at the prayer being heard.
_ _ What shall I say? — the language of one at a loss for words to express his sense of the unexpected deliverance.
_ _ both spoken ... and ... done it — (Numbers 23:19). Both promised and performed (1 Thessalonians 5:24; Hebrews 10:23).
_ _ himself — No one else could have done it (Psalms 98:1).
_ _ go softly ... in the bitterness — rather, “on account of the bitterness”; I will behave myself humbly in remembrance of my past sorrow and sickness from which I have been delivered by God’s mercy (see 1 Kings 21:27, 1 Kings 21:29). In Psalms 42:4, the same Hebrew verb expresses the slow and solemn gait of one going up to the house of God; it is found nowhere else, hence Rosenmuller explains it, “I will reverently attend the sacred festivals in the temple”; but this ellipsis would be harsh; rather metaphorically the word is transferred to a calm, solemn, and submissive walk of life.
Isaiah 38:20
_ _ was ready — not in the Hebrew; “Jehovah was for my salvation,” that is, saved me (compare Isaiah 12:2).
_ _ we — I and my people.
_ _ in the house of the Lord — This song was designed, as many of the other Psalms, as a form to be used in public worship at stated times, perhaps on every anniversary of his recovery; hence “all the days of our life.”
_ _ lump of figs — a round cake of figs pressed into a mass (1 Samuel 25:18). God works by means; the meanest of which He can make effectual.
_ _ boil — inflamed ulcer, produced by the plague. |
Isaiah 38:20
Was ready — Was a present help. |
Isaiah 38:20
The LORD [was ready] to save me: therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instruments all the days of (y) our life in the house of the LORD.
(y) He shows what is the use of the Congregation and Church, that is, to give the Lord thanks for his benefits. |
- therefore:
Psalms 9:13-14 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble [which I suffer] of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death: ... That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.
Psalms 27:5-6 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock. ... And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.
Psalms 30:11-12 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness; ... To the end that [my] glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
Psalms 51:15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.
Psalms 66:13-15 I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows, ... I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.
