Isaiah 43:21 This people have I formed for myself; they shall show forth my praise. It has been said that the word translated "praise" is from the same root as "Hallel" in "Hallelujah," and that it means, first, a clear and shining light; next, a sweet flute-like sound: from which we learn that the people of God are to reflect His glory until it shines from their lives, attracting others to it; and that they are to speak His praise in resonant and harmonious sounds that shall arrest and attract the listening ear. (F. B. Meyer, B. A.) Parallel Verses KJV: This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.WEB: the people which I formed for myself, that they might set forth my praise. |
