Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
he shall stand—that is, persevere: implying the endurance of His kingdom [CALVIN]. Rather, His sedulous care and pastoral circumspection, as a shepherd stands erect to survey and guard His flock on every side (Isaiah 61:5) [MAURER].
feed—that is, rule: as the Greek word similarly in Matthew 2:6, Margin, means both "feed" and "rule" (Isaiah 40:11; Isaiah 49:10; Ezekiel 34:23; compare II Samuel 5:2; II Samuel 7:8).
in the majesty of the name of the Lord—possessing the majesty of all Jehovah's revealed attributes ("name") (Isaiah 11:2; Philippians 2:6, Philippians 2:9; Hebrews 2:7-9).
his God—God is "His God" in a oneness of relation distinct from the sense in which God is our God (John 20:17).
they shall abide—the Israelites ("they," namely, the returning remnant and the "children of Israel previously in Canaan) shall dwell in permanent security and prosperity (Micah 4:4; Isaiah 14:30).
unto the ends of the earth— (Micah 4:1; Psalms 72:8; Zechariah 9:10).
