The Lord hath proclaimed: this may be understood of Cyrus's proclamation, being thereunto directed by God: see 2 Chronicles 36:22, &c. To the daughter of Zion, i.e. to Jerusalem, or the church: the sum of which proclamation is in the, following words. Thy salvation cometh; either,
1. The time of it is come, Isaiah 56:1, Isaiah 60:1. Or rather,
2. The person that effects it, thy Saviour, by a metonymy of the efficient, Luke 2:30. His work, i.e. the reward due to the work, the same thing with the former: See Poole on "Isaiah 40:10". Or, his work is ready cut out for him which he is to do. Or, he will industriously set himself about the work that is before him, 1 Thessalonians 4:34; and he is said to bring it with him, viz. the reward that he will give to his true worshippers; or, he brings eternal salvation with him, or the reward of redemption, which is the subject of the next chapter.
