Isaiah 44:23 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

The Lord hath done it. — The pronoun supplied in the Authorised Version refers to the redemption of Isaiah 44:22; but the word may be taken absolutely in the sense hath done mightily.

Ye lower parts of the earth. — These, as in Ephesians 4:9, are equivalent to Sheol, or Hades. Even they, commonly thought of as echoing no song of praise (Psalms 6:5; Psalms 88:12; Isaiah 38:18), are invited to join in the great doxology.

Isaiah 44:23

23 Sing, O ye heavens; for the LORD hath done it: shout, ye lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein: for the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and glorified himself in Israel.
