Vers. 21. This people have I formed for my self: they shall show forth my praise.
Vers. 21. This people haue I formed for my selfe: they shall shew forth my praise.
The Prophets meaning is, that the Lord must needs perform that which he spake before, because it concerns his own glory to deliver the people which he hath chosen to himself. This appertained therefore very much to the consolation of the Jews, as if he should say, Do ye think I will suffer my glory to fall to the ground? It is joined with your salvation,1 and therefore it stands me in hand to look to it, Be you sure therefore that all shall got well with you: for I can not suffer you to perish, but my glory must therewithal be abolished also. But your salvation is sure; for I have determined that you shall magnify my greatness for ever.
