‘I will put in remembrance the covenant lovingkindnesses of Yahweh,
And the praises of Yahweh, according to all that Yahweh has bestowed on us.
And the great goodness towards the house of Israel which he has bestowed on them according to his mercies,
And according to the multitude of his covenant love.'
Isaiah states that, as his response to the appearance of the figure in Isaiah 63:1-6, he will begin to act as a ‘remembrancer' for his people (compare Isaiah 62:6) by examining God's past goodness to His people. He will put Him in remembrance of the greatness of ‘Yahweh's covenant lovingkindnesses', and the many reasons they have for praising Him in the light of all He has bestowed on them in faithfulness to the covenant. As Yahweh's prophet he will reveal His great goodness to the house of Israel bestowed on them in accordance with His mercies and the vastness of His covenant love. For these past mercies are the basis of his hope.
Note the covenant love mentioned both at the beginning and the end. Chesed is very much God's love as connected with the covenant. His covenant lovingkindnesses cover all that He has done and said in fulfilling His part of the covenant and demonstrate how He has been faithful to the covenant.
‘The house of Israel'. In accordance with his pattern mentioned previously Isaiah does not speak simply of Israel. House of Israel is less personal and differentiates them from the Servant. (See note on Isaiah 58:14).
He then begins to outline the ups and downs of the relationship between God and His people.
