Contextual Overview

¹² Lord, you will give us peace: for all our works are the outcome of your purpose. ¹³ O Lord, our God, other lords than you have had rule over us; but in you only is our salvation, and no other name will we take on our lips. ¹⁴ The dead will not come back to life: their spirits will not come back to earth; for this cause you have sent destruction on them, so that the memory of them is dead. ¹⁵ You have made the nation great, O Lord, you have made it great; glory is yours: you have made wide the limits of the land. ¹⁶ Lord, in trouble our eyes have been turned to you, we sent up a prayer when your punishment was on us. ¹⁷ As a woman with child, whose time is near, is troubled, crying out in her pain; so have we been before you, O Lord. ¹⁸ We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have given birth to wind; no salvation has come to the earth through us, and no children have come into the world. ¹⁹ Your dead will come back; their dead bodies will come to life again. Those in the dust, awaking from their sleep, will send out a song; for your dew is a dew of light, and the earth will give birth to the shades.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Lord, thou wilt ordain peace for us,.... Dispose, order, give it to us, outward and inward, spiritual and eternal: chiefly respect is had to that peace and prosperity the church will have in the latter day, which the zeal of the Lord of hosts, before mentioned, will perform for her, Psalms 72:8 and which she expresses her faith in, when it goes ill with the wicked, and that for the following reason:

for thou also hast wrought all our works in us; or "to us", or "for us" b; all that had been done for them before were done by the Lord, came of his hands, were owing to his goodness, grace, and power and not to be ascribed unto themselves; all their mercies and deliverances, all that had been done for them in nature, providence, and grace; all that had been done for the church and people of God in all ages and periods of time, the glory of all was due to him; and since he had done so many and such great things for them, they had reason to believe he would grant them that peace and prosperity promised and expected in the latter day. The work of grace upon the heart is peculiarly the work which God works in his people, and is thought by some to be here meant; this is God's work, and not man's; and it is an internal one, something wrought in the heart, and which, being begun, will be performed; and may be expressed in the plural number, because of the excellency of it, it is the work of works; it includes others, and from whence all good works done by good men spring; and, besides, it consists of various parts, each of which is a work; as the work of faith, the labour of love, and perfect work of patience; and the fruit of this is peace here, and men on account of it may expect eternal peace hereafter; for this is the saints' meetness for glory, and which is inseparably connected with it. Abarbinel c interprets this "peace" of the times of the Messiah, and of the redemption wrought out by him; and "our works", of the troubles that came upon the Jews in captivity, which were all from the Lord, as well as their mercies and deliverance.

b לנו "in nobis", Munster; "nobis", Pagninus, Montanus, Junius & Tremellius, Piscator. c Mashmia, Jeshua, fol. 16. 1.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Thou wilt ordain peace - The word ‘peace’ here seems to stand opposed to the evils of various kinds which they had experienced in the captivity at Babylon; and to refer net only to peace, but also to prosperity, and to the continued divine favor.

For thou hast wrought all our works in us - Or rather, ‘for us’ (לנוּ lânû). It is owing to thy hand that we are saved.
