Isaiah 25:1 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

O Lord, thou art my God— The elegance of the prophet is observable in this verse, which he begins without any connecting particle or introduction; bursting out immediately into praise, upon a sight of the great deliverance spoken of in the last verse of the preceding chapter. It is commonly thought that the elders and teachers of the people are here introduced as the first speakers. Thy counsels of old, or from far, signify not only those long before taken, but also which had been long before declared and published by the prophets. Faithfulness and truth, is in the Hebrew, אמן אמונה emunah omen, the truest truth, or, the most faithful faith, an emphatical expression, shewing that there is the most exact analogy between the promise and the completion of the promise; so that the completion exhibits the most pure fidelity of God. Vitringa. See Genesis 4:24.
