And in that day - (see Isaiah 12:1). Call upon his name - Margin, ‘Proclaim.’ It denotes to call upon him in the way of celebrating his praise. The whole hymn is one of praise, and not of prayer. Declare among the people - Among all people, that they may be brought to see his glory, and join in the celebration of his praise. His doings - Particularly in regard to the great events which are the subject of the previous predictions - his interposition in saving people by the Messiah from eternal death. Make mention - Hebrew, ‘Cause it to be remembered’ (see the note at Isaiah 62:6). That his name is exalted - That it is worthy of adoration and praise. It is worthy to be exalted, or lifted up in view of the nations of the earth 2 Samuel 22:47; Psalms 21:13; Psalms 46:10. return to 'Top of Page'
