Isa 12:2 Jehova Yeshua, The Lord Is My Salvation

"Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be

afraid. The LORD, the LORD, is my strength and my song;

He has become my salvation" .

Matthew Henry Commentary

They are taught to triumph in God and their interest in Him

"Behold, and wonder; God is my salvation; not only my Saviour,

by whom I am saved, but my salvation, in whom I am safe. I

depend upon Him as my salvation, for I have found Him to be

so. He shall have the glory of all the salvations that have

been wrought for me, and from Him only will I expect the

salvations I further need, and not from hills and mountains:

and if God be my salvation, if He undertake my eternal

salvation, I will trust in Him to prepare me for it and

preserve me to it. I will trust Him with all my temporal

concerns, not doubting but He will make all to work for

my good. I will be confident, that is, I will be always

easy in my own mind."

Note, Those that have God for their salvation may enjoy

themselves with a holy security and serenity of mind. Let

faith in God as our salvation be effectual,

(1.) To silence our fears. We must trust, and not be afraid,

not be afraid that the God we trust in will fail us; no,

there is no danger of that; not be afraid of any creature,

though ever so formidable and threatening.

Note, Faith in God is a sovereign remedy against disquieting

tormenting fears.

(2.) to support our hopes. Is the Lord Jehovah our salvation?

Then He will be our strength and song. We have work to do and

temptations to resist, and we may depend upon Him to enable us

for both, to strengthen us with all might by His Spirit in the

inner man, for He is our strength; His grace is so, and that

grace shall be sufficient for us. We have many troubles to

undergo, and must expect griefs in a vale of tears; and we

may depend upon Him to comfort us in all our tribulations,

for He is our song; He giveth songs in the night. If we

make God our strength, and put our confidence in Him,

He will be our strength; if we make Him our song, and

place our comfort in Him, He will be our song. Many good

Christians have God for their strength who have Him not

for their song; they walk in darkness: but light is sown

for them. And those that have God for their strength ought

to make Him their song, that is, to give him the glory

of it (Ps. 68:35) and to take to themselves the comfort

of it, for He will become their salvation. Observe the

title here given to God: Jah, Jehovah. Jah is the

contraction of Jehovah, and both signify His eternity

and unchangeableness, which are a great comfort to

those that depend upon Him as their strength and their

song. Some make Jah to signify the Son of God made man;

He is Jehovah, and in Him we may glory as our strength,

and song, and salvation.
