tremble at . . . word—the same persons as in Isaiah 66:2, the believing few among the Jews.
cast you out for my name's sake—excommunicate, as if too polluted to worship with them (Isaiah 65:5). So in Christ's first sojourn on earth (Matthew 10:22; John 9:22, John 9:34; John 16:2; John 15:21). So it shall be again in the last times, when the believing shall be few (Luke 18:8).
Let the Lord be glorified—the mocking challenge of the persecutors, as if their violence towards you was from zeal for God. "Let the Lord show Himself glorious," namely, by manifesting Himself in your behalf; as the parallelism to, "He shall appear to your joy," requires (as in Isaiah 5:19; compare Isaiah 28:15; Isaiah 57:4). So again Christ on the cross (Matthew 27:42-43).
appear to your joy—giving you "joy" instead of your "rebuke" (Isaiah 25:8-9).
