Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 62:5

_ _ thy sons — rather, changing the points, which are of no authority in Hebrew, “thy builder” or “restorer,” that is, God; for in the parallel clause, and in Isaiah 62:4, God is implied as being “married” to her; whereas her “sons” could hardly be said to marry their mother; and in Isaiah 49:18, they are said to be her bridal ornaments, not her husband. The plural form, builders, is used of God in reverence as “husbands” (see on Isaiah 54:5).

_ _ over the bride — in the possession of the bride (Isaiah 65:19; Jeremiah 32:41; Zephaniah 3:17).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 62:1-5.

Isaiah 62:5

For [as] a young man marrieth a virgin, [so] shall thy sons (g) marry thee: and [as] the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, [so] shall thy God rejoice over thee.

(g) As they confess one faith and religion with you, they are in the same bond of marriage with you, and they are called the children of the Church, as Christ makes her plentiful to bring forth children to him.
