Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 40:26

_ _ bringeth out ... host — image from a general reviewing his army: He is Lord of Sabaoth, the heavenly hosts (Job 38:32).

_ _ calleth ... by names — numerous as the stars are. God knows each in all its distinguishing characteristics — a sense which “name” often bears in Scripture; so in Genesis 2:19, Genesis 2:20, Adam, as God’s vicegerent, called the beasts by name, that is, characterized them by their several qualities, which, indeed, He has imparted.

_ _ by the greatness ... faileth — rather, “by reason of abundance of (their inner essential) force and firmness of strength, not one of them is driven astray”; referring to the sufficiency of the physical forces with which He has endowed the heavenly bodies, to prevent all disorder in their motions [Horsley]. In English Version the sense is, “He has endowed them with their peculiar attributes (‘names’) by the greatness of His might,” and the power of His strength (the better rendering, instead of, “for that He is strong”).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 40:18-26.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 40:26

Bringeth — That at first brought them out of nothing, and from day to day brings them forth, making them to rise and set in their appointed times. Faileth — Either to appear when he calls them; or to do the work to which he sends them.

(b) Who has set in order the infinite number of the stars.
