Isaiah 52:9
Compare all
7 aHow beautiful upon the mountains
Are the feet of him who brings good news,
Who proclaims peace,
Who brings glad tidings of good things,
Who proclaims salvation,
Who says to Zion,
b“Your God reigns!” 
8 Your watchmen shall lift up their voices,
With their voices they shall sing together;
For they shall see eye to eye
When the Lord brings back Zion.
9 Break forth into joy, sing together,
You waste places of Jerusalem!
For the Lord has comforted His people,
He has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 aThe Lord has1 made bare His holy arm
In the eyes of ball the nations;
And all the ends of the earth shall see
The salvation of our God. 
11 aDepart! Depart! Go out from there,
Touch no unclean thing;
Go out from the midst of her,
bBe clean,
You who bear the vessels of the Lord. 
12 For ayou shall not go out with haste,
Nor go by flight;
bFor the Lord will go before you,
cAnd the God of Israel will be your rear guard. 

The Sin-Bearing Servant

13 Behold, aMy Servant shall deal prudently;
bHe shall be exalted and1 extolled and be very high. 
14 Just as many were astonished at you,
So His avisage was marred more than any man,
And His form more than the sons of men;

Isaiah 52:9

Break forth into joy - Jerusalem, at the time here referred to, was lying waste and in ruins. This call on the waste places of Jerusalem to break out into expressions of praise, is in accordance with a style which frequently occurs in Isaiah, and in other sacred writers, by which inanimate objects are called on to manifest their joy (see the notes at Isaiah 14:7-8; Isaiah 42:11).

For the Lord hath comforted his people - That is, he does comfort his people, and redeem them. This is seen by the prophet in vision, and to his view it is represented as if it were passing before his eyes.

He hath redeemed Jerusalem - On the meaning of the word ' redeemed,' see the notes at Isaiah 43:1-3. The idea here is, that Yahweh was about to restore his people from their long captivity, and again to cause Jerusalem to be rebuilt.
