Contextual Overview

14Thus says Yahweh your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel,"For your sake I have sent to Babylon,And will bring down those who fled—all of them,Even the Chaldeans—into the ships in which they shouted for joy. 15I am Yahweh, your Holy One,The Creator of Israel, your King." 16Thus says Yahweh,Who makes a way through the seaAnd a path through the mighty waters, 17Who brings forth the chariot and the horse,The military force and the mighty man;They will lie down together and not rise again;They have been extinguished and quenched like a wick: 18"Do not remember the former things,Nor carefully consider things of the past. 19Behold, I will do something new;Now it will spring forth;Will you not know it?I will even make a roadway in the wilderness,Rivers in the wasteland. 20The beasts of the field will glorify Me,The jackals and the ostriches,Because I have given waters in the wildernessAnd rivers in the wasteland,To give drink to My chosen people. 21The people whom I formed for MyselfWill recount My praise.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

This people have I formed for myself,.... The Gentiles, compared to a desert and wilderness, wild and uncultivated, distinguished from Jacob and Israel in the next verse, and the same with the chosen people before mentioned; who being chosen of God, and redeemed by Christ, are formed anew by the Spirit of Christ, made new creatures, regenerated, and transformed by the renewing of their minds, and conformed to the image of Christ, and having him formed in their souls, and principles of grace and holiness wrought in them; in consequence of which they reformed in their lives and conversation, and were also formed into a Gospel church state, and all this done by the Lord for himself, his service, and his glory. The Targum is,

"this people have I prepared for my worship:''

they shall show forth my praise; with their lips, by ascribing their formation to the power and grace of God, and even their whole salvation to it, and express their thankfulness for the same; and likewise by their actions, by a subjection to the ordinances of the Gospel, and by their lives and conversations being agreeably to it. Joseph Kimchi, as Abendana observes, interprets this people of the beasts of the field, spoken of in the preceding verse, that should honour the Lord, and here said to be formed for himself, and should show forth his praise; and which is taken notice of to aggravate the sins of the people of the Jews, who called not on the Lord, c. as in the following verses so the ants and conies are called a people not strong, and the locusts a people great and strong, Proverbs 30:25.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

This people have I formed for myself - To preserve the remembrance of my name; to transmit the knowledge of the true God to future times, and to celebrate my praise (see the notes at Isaiah 43:1).

They shall show forth my praise - They shall celebrate my goodness; or, by their restoration to their own land, they shall show manifestly that they are my people.
