Isaiah 44:28

That saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd "Who saith to Cyrus, Thou art my shepherd" - Pastor meus es ; Vulg. The true reading seems to be roi attah ; the word attah , has probably been dropped out of the text. The same word is lost out of the text, Psalms 119:57. It is supplied in the Septuagint by the word , thou art.

Saying to Jerusalem - For velemor , the Septuagint and Vulgate read haomer .

And to the temple - uleheychal , as lirushalayim , before; the preposition is necessary, and the Vulgate seems to read so. - Houbigant.

That saith of Cyrus, He is, or thou art, my shepherd - Saying to Jerusalem, "Thou shalt be built;" and to the Temple, "Thy foundation shall be laid." - There is a remarkable beauty and propriety in this verse.

1.Cyrus is called God' s shepherd. Shepherd was an epithet which Cyrus took to himself; and what he gave to all good kings.

2.This Cyrus should say to the temple: "Thy foundation shall be laid." Not - thou shalt be built. The fact is, only the foundation was laid in the days of Cyrus, the Ammonites having prevented the building; nor was it resumed till the second year of Darius, one of his successors. There is often a precision in the expressions of the prophets which is as honorable to truth, as it is unnoticed by careless readers.
