Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 44:23

_ _ Call to inanimate nature to praise God; for it also shall share in the coming deliverance from “the bondage of corruption” (Romans 8:20, Romans 8:21).

_ _ done it — effected redemption for both the literal and spiritual Israel.

_ _ lower parts, etc. — antithetical to “heavens”; “mountains,” “forest,” and “tree,” are the intermediate objects in a descending gradation (see Psalms 96:11, Psalms 96:12).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 44:21-28.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 44:23

Sing — By such invitations to the senseless creatures, he signifies the transcendent greatness of this mercy, sufficient to make even the stones, if it were possible, to break forth into God's praises.
