Yeshayah 33:5 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 33:5

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 ) ( Revelation 15:1 Revelation 15:2 ) ( Revelation 19:1 Revelation 19:2 ) 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.''

3 At the noise of the tumult the peoples fled; at the lifting up of Thyself the Goyim were scattered.

4 And your shalal (booty, plunder, gain) shall be gathered like the gathering of the locusts; as the swarm of grasshoppers shall men pounce upon them.

5 Hashem is exalted; for He dwelleth on high; He hath filled Tziyon with mishpat and tzedakah.

6 And He shall be the emunah (faithfulness, stability) of thy times, a rich store of Yeshuah (salvation), chochmah, and da’as; the yirat Hashem is his otzar (treasure).
