Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 61:11

11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth : so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all Nations .

By this and the other Metaphor he shews not only the reviving of the blessings of the Church after they had been as it were dead in the winter of affliction, but the great plenty, and abundance of blessings that should break forth; that which had been as a wilderness, shall be as a Paradise, pointing at the effects of his grace, and bounty.

i. e. His great work of Salvation shall break out and appear.

As the natural product, and fruit of it, his own glory being the Principal end of making his Righteousness to appear and manifest its self.

These things will not be done in a Corner, but will be eminently conspicuous in the sight of all the world, for which purpose those Hymns penned by the godly will ever be famous in the Churches of Christ to all ages, as of Moses, Hannah, Mary, Zechary, Simeon, &c.
