Our Redeemer
The term "Redeemer" in Hebrew is "Go'el," which refers to a kinsman-redeemer, a person who has the obligation to redeem a relative in serious difficulty. This concept is deeply rooted in the Levitical laws (Leviticus 25:25) and the account of Ruth and Boaz. In the context of Isaiah, God is portrayed as the ultimate Redeemer of Israel, emphasizing His role in delivering His people from bondage and restoring them. This reflects the conservative Christian belief in Jesus Christ as the ultimate Redeemer, who delivers humanity from the bondage of sin.

the LORD of Hosts
This phrase, "Yahweh Sabaoth" in Hebrew, signifies God's supreme command over the heavenly armies and all creation. It underscores His omnipotence and sovereignty. Historically, this title reassured Israel of God's power to protect and fight for them against their enemies. In a broader theological context, it affirms God's ultimate authority over all spiritual and earthly realms, a comforting truth for believers who trust in His divine protection and governance.

is His name
In ancient Near Eastern culture, a name was not merely a label but a representation of one's character and authority. The declaration "is His name" emphasizes the eternal and unchanging nature of God's identity. For conservative Christians, this underscores the belief in the immutability of God, who remains constant and faithful throughout all generations, a source of hope and stability in an ever-changing world.

the Holy One of Israel
This title, "Qadosh Yisrael" in Hebrew, highlights God's purity, separateness, and unique relationship with Israel. It reflects His moral perfection and the call for His people to be holy as He is holy (Leviticus 19:2). Historically, it served as a reminder of Israel's covenant relationship with God, who chose them to be a light to the nations. For Christians, it points to the call to live a life set apart for God, reflecting His holiness in a world that often opposes His ways. This title also foreshadows the coming of Jesus Christ, who embodies the holiness of God and fulfills the covenant promises to Israel.

(4) As for our redeemer . . .--The verse comes in somewhat abruptly, but may be viewed (unless we suppose it to have been originally a marginal addition, which has found its way into the text) as Israel's song of praise, as it looks on the overthrow of Babylon. As such it finds a parallel in the overthrow of the mystical Babylon in Revelation 18:20.

Sit thou silent.--Another contrast between the stir of the rejoicing city and the stillness of its later desolation. "The lady" (we might almost say, the empress) "of kingdoms" was reduced to the loneliness of widowhood.

Verse 4. - As for our Redeemer, etc. Mr. Cheyne suspects, with some reason, that this is "the marginal note of a sympathetic scribe, which has made its way by accident into the text." It is certainly quite unlike anything else in the song, which would artistically be improved by its removal. If, however, it be retained, we must regard it as a parenthetic ejaculation of the Jewish Church on hearing the first strophe of the song - the Church contrasting itself with Babylon, which has no one to stand up for it, whereas it has as "Redeemer the Lord of hosts, the Holy One of Israel."
