God's judgments against the enemies of the church13. The consternation of sinners, and privileges of the godly O LORD, be gracious to us! This plea for grace reflects a deep dependence on God's mercy, a recurring theme throughout the Bible. The Israelites often found themselves in situations where they needed divine intervention, and this cry echoes the prayers of many biblical figures, such as Moses and David. The request for grace acknowledges human insufficiency and God's sovereignty. It aligns with the understanding that grace is unmerited favor, a concept fully realized in the New Testament through Jesus Christ, who embodies God's ultimate grace to humanity. We wait for You.

Intercessory Prayer Follow Isaiah's example of interceding for others, praying for God's grace and strength in their lives as well.(2) O Lord, be gracious . . .--Faith transforms itself into prayer. The prophet will still "wait" upon God. In the change of person, "their arm," "our salvation," we hear the very words of the prayer as it was spoken, the first referring to the soldiers who were to fight the battles of their country, the second to the non-combatants who were assembled with Isaiah in supplication.Verse 2. - O Lord, etc. The mingling of prayer with prophecy is very unusual, and indicative of highly excited feeling. Isaiah realizes fully the danger of his people and nation, and knows that without prayer there is no deliverance. His prayer is at once an outpouring of his own heart, and an example to others. We have waited for thee (comp. Isaiah 8:17; Isaiah 26:8). Their Am; i.e. "the Arm of thy people." Every morning. Continually, day by day, since their need of thy support is continual.
