Contextual Overview

¹ Ho! you who make waste those who did not make you waste; acting falsely to those who were not false to you. When you have come to an end of wasting, you will be made waste, and after your false acts, they will do the same to you. ² O Lord, have mercy on us; for we have been waiting for your help: be our strength every morning, our salvation in time of trouble. ³ At the loud noise the peoples have gone in flight; at your coming up the nations have gone in all directions. ⁴ And the goods taken in war will be got together like the massing of young locusts; men will be rushing on them like the rushing of locusts. ⁵ The Lord is lifted up; his place is on high: he has made Zion full of righteousness and true religion. ⁶ And she will have no more fear of change, being full of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge: the fear of the Lord is her wealth. ⁷ See, the men of war are sorrowing outside the town: those who came looking for peace are weeping bitterly. ⁸ The highways are waste, no man is journeying there: the agreement is broken, he has made sport of the towns, he has no thought for man. ⁹ The earth is sorrowing and wasting away; Lebanon is put to shame and has become waste; Sharon is like the Arabah; and in Bashan and Carmel the leaves are falling. ¹⁰ Now will I come forward, says the Lord; now will I be lifted up; now will my power be seen.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The Lord is exalted,.... These are the words of the church, or of true believers, setting the praise and glory of God, on account of the victory and spoil of their enemies; by which the Lord is exalted, magnified, and honoured, as he will be in the hearts and mouths of his people when these times shall come; see Revelation 11:15 this will be true of Christ, and indeed this will be the time when he, and he alone, shall be exalted, Isaiah 2:17:

for he dwelleth on high; in the highest heaven, and is above his greatest enemies, and can, and will, pour down his wrath and vengeance on them:

he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness; the church of God, where Christ her King will reign in righteousness, and when all the administrations of his kingly power and government will appear to be just and true; where his word shall be faithfully preached, and his ordinances duly administered; and when all his subjects and people shall be righteous, and live soberly and righteously. The Targum is,

"with those that do true judgment and righteousness.''

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The Lord is exalted - (compare Psalms 97:9). The prophet here introduces a chorus of the Jews, celebrating the praises of God for delivering them from the Assyrian.

He hath filled Zion with judgment - That is, the effect of his destroying his enemies will be to fill Jerusalem with reverence for his name. The deliverance would be so signal, and the manifestation of the divine mercy so great, that the effect would be that the nation would turn to God, and acknowledge his gracious interposition (see Isaiah 30:22-26, Isaiah 30:29; Isaiah 31:6; Isaiah 32:15-18).
