Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.
Shout, thou inhabitant of Zion - Hebrew, inhabitress; so 'daughter of Zion' - i:e., Zion and its people.
For great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee - of Jerusalem literally (Jeremiah 3:17; Ezekiel 48:35, "the name of the city from that day shall be, The Lord is there;" Zephaniah 3:15; Zephaniah 3:17; Zechariah 2:10).
Remarks: Every member of the spiritual lsrael echoes from the heart this song of thanksgiving-once "thou wast angry with me," because my sin was unpardoned; but now, through faith in Christ, I know that "thine anger is turned away" (Isaiah 12:1). Having the 'comfort' of thy Spirit witnessing within me, that I am a child of God, "I will trust and not be afraid." This in a special sense shall be the thanksgiving of Israel, when her people shall welcome Messiah, whom they have so long rejected, and shall say "Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord."
