Gill's Notes on the Bible

And l will bring them,.... To Zion, into the church of God, the Gospel fold, where Christ has engaged to bring his other sheep, that there may be one fold for Jew and Gentile, Jeremiah 3:14

John 10:16:

and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: the Gospel church; and be no more foreigners and strangers, but of the household of God, enjoying all the immunities and privileges of the Jerusalem that is above, the mother of us all:

and they shall be my people; appear to be so by effectual calling; which makes those manifest to be the people of God, to be in the covenant of his grace, who before were not known to be so, either by themselves or others, 1 Peter 2:10:

and I will be their God, in truth, and in righteousness; according to the covenant of his grace, which will now in a very open manner be truly and faithfully fulfilled; and they, in consequence of the grace bestowed on them, will worship God in sincerity and truth, being justified by the righteousness of Christ, and so will have no dependence on their own for their acceptance with God; see Hosea 2:19.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

They shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem - Not the literal Jerusalem; for this would not contain the Jews from all quarters of the world, whom, as they multiplied, the whole land could not contain; but the promised Jerusalem, the Jerusalem, which “should be inhabited as towns without walls,” to which the Lord should be a wall of fire round about.

And they shall be My people - He promises this as to those who were already His people; “I will save My people - and will bring them, and they shall dwell - and they shall be My people.” And this they were to be in a new way, by conversion of heart, as Jeremiah says, “I will give them an heart to know Me, that I am the Lord, and they shall be My people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto Me with their whole heart” (Jeremiah 24:7; add Jeremiah 30:22), and, “This shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put My law in their inward parts, and will write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be My people” Jeremiah 31:33.

Osorius: “The circuit of one city will not contain so great a multitude. But one confession of faith, one conspiration of sanctity, one communion of religion and righteousness, can easily enfold all born of the holy fathers, united to them in faith and piety. And God is specially called the God of all these. For He specially consults for these, loads them with benefits, fences them in with most strong protection, illumines them with His light, crowns them, when confirmed in the image of His beauty, with glory immortal and divine.”

In truth and in righteousness - This too is on account of their former relation to God. Isaiah had upbraided them for a worship of God, “not in truth and righteousness” Isaiah 48:1. Jeremiah had said, “Thou shalt swear, the Lord liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness” Jeremiah 4:2. God should be their God in truth and righteousness; Ribera: “truth in fulfilling His promises; righteousness in rewarding every man according to his works.”
