Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 63:18

_ _ people of ... holiness — Israel dedicated as holy unto God (Isaiah 62:12; Deuteronomy 7:6).

_ _ possessed — namely, the Holy Land, or Thy “sanctuary,” taken from the following clause, which is parallel to this (compare Isaiah 64:10, Isaiah 64:11; Psalms 74:6-8).

_ _ thy — an argument why God should help them; their cause is His cause.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 63:15-19.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 63:18

People — The people set apart for his servants. A little while — Comparatively to the promise, which was for ever. Sanctuary — The temple.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Isaiah 63:18

The people of thy holiness have possessed [it] but a little (x) while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.

(x) That is, in respect to the promise, which is perpetual: even though they had now possessed the land of Canaan for 1400 years: and thus they lament, to move God rather to remember his covenant, than to punish their sins.
