Verily, thou art a God— The church or chorus of believers which are here introduced cry out, and interrupt, as it were, the divine discourse with exultation; which may be divided into three articles. The first explains the nature of God, with respect to his ways, and the order of his counsels and providence;—in this verse. See chap. Leviticus 8:9. The ways and judgments of God are a great deep; and therefore not to be judged of too presumptuously by the narrow human intellect. The second article contains an apostrophe to idolaters, convicting them of their folly from this wonderful nature and these wonderful doings of God: It should be rendered, They are ashamed, &c. The makers of idols walk in ignominy together: that is, after the completion of this great prophesy. The third article sets forth the privilege and hope of the church, But Israel is saved by Jehovah with an everlasting salvation; not only that procured by Cyrus, but that procured by a much greater than he; Jesus, the Jehovah, and true Saviour of his faithful people.
