“And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the Lord; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.”
And it will be said on that day, "Behold, this is our God; we have waited for Him, and He will save us. This is the LORD; we have waited for Him. Let us be glad and rejoice in His salvation," establishing that salvation is the moment of recognition and communion, when the waiting and hoping of the faithful are vindicated in the meeting with God. The identification—"this is our God"—represents the moment of fulfilled promise and relationship, the answer to generations of prayer and waiting. The rejoicing in salvation suggests that the response to God's redemptive work is joy and gratitude. The waiting language connects this promise to the opening of chapter 40 and Isaiah's larger theme of those who wait on the LORD inheriting salvation.
